3a	Ezek. 34: 10. 10 Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will ^arequire my flock at their hand, and cause them to ^bcease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
