Contemporary English Version
9-10 So I, the Lord, will punish you! I will rescue my sheep from you and never let you be their shepherd again or butcher them for food. I, the Lord, have spoken.
The Lord Is the Good Shepherd
11 The Lord God then said:
I will look for my sheep and take care of them myself, 12 just as a shepherd looks for lost sheep. My sheep have been lost since that dark and miserable day when they were scattered throughout the nations.[a] But I will rescue them

Ezekiel 34:10-12
New International Version
10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against(A) the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue(B) my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.(C)
11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep(D) and look after them. 12 As a shepherd(E) looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.(F)
