Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds, prophesy and say unto them thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherd that do feed themselves , Because of envy, kill them that are fed; with force and cruelty have ye ruled them. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, ye shut up the Kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

            Thus saith the Lord God, they shall cease from feeding the flock, for I will deliver my flock from their mouth.

            Prophesy unto the flock, prophesy and say unto them, I will set up shepherds over you and they shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. You shall fear no more, nor be confused, neither dismayed or lacking; for I will give you pastors according to mine heart, saith the Lord.

            I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to enter into my rest. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away. I will strengthen those who are discouraged; but as for the fat and the strong, I the Lord will feed them with judgment and they shall cease from feeding my chosen sheep. My chosen people, those who have loved righteousness and hated iniquity they shall see my glory. I will bring them into a land that is flowing with milk and honey. They who have waited upon me will enter into my fullness my servants who have not exalted themselves, I the Lord will exalt them, and the world will know they are my servants whom I love. I the Lord will not forsake you, for you have walked before me in meekness. I the Lord love the meek of the earth and will walk with them and save them from their enemies. I will go before you, and will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut insunder the gates of iron.

           You shall be my mouth piece, my witness, my battle axe and weapons of war; for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms. I will turn wise men backwards and make their knowledge foolish, but I will confirm the word of my servant and perform the counsel of my messenger.

            Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way o the people; cast up, cast up the highway, gather out the stones, lift up a standard for the people. I have called you alone; as a witness and to prepare a path for my chosen people; walk before them and in time they shall see my glory upon you and they shall also walk the path you have prepared for them.
