1 God talked to Ezekiel. ✨ 2 God said, “Speak to the leaders, the shepherds. Bad news for you who feed yourself and not the sheep.” ️ 3 “You eat a lot and wear warm wool, but you do not feed the sheep.” ️ 4 “You did not help the weak, sick, hurt, or lost. You were mean and hard.” 5 “The sheep ran off. No shepherd was there. Wild animals hurt them.” ♂️ 6 “My sheep went on many hills and all the land. No one went to find them.” ️ 7 “So, leaders, listen to God’s word.” 8 “My sheep became food for wild animals. The leaders did not look for them. The leaders fed themselves.” ➡️️ 9 “So, leaders, hear God again.” 10 “I am against the leaders. I will take My sheep away from them. My sheep will not be their food. I will save My sheep.” ✋️ 11 “I Myself will look for My sheep. I will find them.” 12 “Like a good shepherd, I will bring them back from dark, bad days.” ☁️ 13 “I will bring them home to their land. I will feed them on hills and fields and towns.” ⛰️ 14 “I will give them good grass. They will rest and eat well.” 15 “I will be their shepherd. I will make them rest.” 16 “I will find the lost, bring back the ones who went away, help the hurt, and make the weak strong. I will stop the mean ones.” ➡️✋ 17 “My people, I will tell who did right and who did wrong.” ⚖️ 18 “You eat the good grass, then you step on the rest. You drink clean water, then you make the rest dirty.” ️ 19 “Must my sheep eat the stepped-on grass and drink the dirty water?” 20 “I will tell who is pushy and who is weak.” ⚖️ 21 “You push the weak with your side and shoulder. You shove them away.” ♂️➡️ 22 “I will save My sheep. They will not be food. I will say what is right.” ️ 23 “I will give them one good shepherd, My servant David. He will feed them and care for them.” 24 “I am their God. David will be their leader. I said it.” 25 “I make a special peace promise with them. Wild animals will go away. They will live safe, even in the woods.” ️ 26 “I will make them glad. I will send rain at the right time—good rain.” ️⏰ 27 “Trees will give fruit. Fields will give food. They will be safe at home.
