Yahweh continues giving Ezekiel his message to the leaders of Israel.

## their grazing places ##

"places where they can eat"

## abundant pastures ##

lands that have a lot of grass and plants

## graze ##

eat grass and other plants

## I myself ##

The word "myself" adds emphasis. God would do this because the shepherds were not doing it right.

## will shepherd ##

"will feed and take care of"

## will make them lie down ##

"will let them lie down"

## This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration ##

See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 5:11](../05/11.md).

"those that are lost." AT: "any sheep or goats that are lost"

## restore the outcast ##

AT: "bring back those that have been chased away"

## bind up the broken sheep ##

"wrap a cloth around any sheep's broken bone" or "wrap a cloth around any sheep's wound"

## will annihilate ##

"will kill" or "will destroy"
