1599 Geneva Bible
10 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against the shepherds, and will require my sheep at their hands, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep: neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore: for I will deliver thy sheep from [a]their mouths, and they shall no more devour them.
11 For thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd searcheth out his flock, when he hath been among his sheep that are scattered, so will I seek out my sheep and will deliver them out of all places, where they have been scattered in [b]the cloudy and dark day,

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)
