Then Micaiah answered,“ I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord said,‘ These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’”

And he said,“ I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said,‘ These have no master; let each return to his home in peace.’”

Then Micaiah told him,“ In a vision I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said,‘ Their master has been killed. Send them home in peace.’”

So Micaiah said: I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said,“ They have no master; let everyone return home in peace.”

So he said,“ I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said,‘ These people have no master. Each of them is to return to his house in peace.’ ”

Then he said,“ I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said,‘ These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’”

And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Jehovah said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.

So Micaiah said: I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said,“ They have no master; let everyone return home in peace.”

Have that person lead them and take care of them. Then your people won’t be like sheep without a shepherd.”

When he saw the crowds, he felt deep concern for them. They were treated badly and were helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

But someone shot an arrow without taking aim. The arrow hit the king of Israel between the parts of his armor. The king told his chariot driver,“ Turn the chariot around. Get me out of this battle. I’ve been wounded.”All day long the battle continued. The king kept himself standing up by leaning against the inside of his chariot. He kept his face toward the men of Aram. The blood from his wound ran down onto the floor of the chariot. That evening he died.As the sun was setting, a cry spread through the army.“ Every man must go to his own town!” they said.“ Every man must go to his own land!”

Other gods tell lies. Those who practice magic see visions that aren’t true. They tell dreams that fool people. They give comfort that doesn’t do any good. So the people wander around like sheep. They are crushed because they don’t have a shepherd.

“ How terrible it will be for the shepherds who lead my people astray!” announces the Lord.“ They are destroying and scattering the sheep that belong to my flock.”So the Lord, the God of Israel, speaks to the shepherds who take care of my people. He tells them,“ You have scattered my sheep. You have driven them away. You have not taken good care of them. So I will punish you for the evil things you have done,” announces the Lord.

I looked up and saw a windstorm coming from the north. I saw a huge cloud. The fire of lightning was flashing out of it. Bright light surrounded it. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal.

You have not made the weak ones in the flock stronger. You have not healed the sick. You have not bandaged those who are hurt. You have not brought back those who have wandered away. You have not searched for the lost. When you ruled over them, you were mean to them. You treated them badly.So they were scattered because they did not have a shepherd. They became food for all of the wild animals.My sheep wandered all over the mountains and high hills. They were scattered over the whole earth. No one searched for them. No one looked for them.”

“ My sword, wake up! Attack my shepherd! Attack the man who is close to me,” announces the Lord who rules over all.“ Strike down the shepherd. Then the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn my hand against their little ones.

A message from the Lord came to me. The Lord asked me,“ What do you see, Jeremiah?”“ The branch of an almond tree,” I replied.The Lord said to me,“ You have seen correctly. I am watching to see that my word comes true.”Another message from the Lord came to me. The Lord asked me,“ What do you see?”“ A pot that has boiling water in it,” I answered.“ It’s leaning toward us from the north.”The Lord said to me,“ Something very bad will be poured out on everyone who lives in this land. It will come from the north.I am about to send for all the armies in the northern kingdoms,” announces the Lord.“ Their kings will come to Jerusalem. They will set up their thrones at the very gates of the city. They will attack all the walls that surround the city. They will go to war against all the towns of Judah.I will judge my people. They have done many evil things. They have deserted me. They have burned incense to other gods. They have worshiped the gods their own hands have made.

In Israel, prophets used to be called seers. So if someone wanted to ask God for advice, they would say,“ Come on. Let’s go to the seer.”

He saw heaven open up. There he saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down to earth by its four corners.It had all kinds of four- footed animals in it. It also had reptiles and birds in it.Then a voice told him,“ Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”“ No, Lord! I will not!” Peter replied.“ I have never eaten anything that is not pure and‘ clean.’ ”The voice spoke to him a second time. It said,“ Do not say anything is not pure that God has made‘ clean.’ ”This happened three times. Right away the sheet was taken back up to heaven.Peter was wondering what the vision meant. At that very moment the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house. They stopped at the gate

“ My people have been like lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray. They have caused them to wander in the mountains. They have wandered over mountains and hills. They have forgotten that I am their true resting place.

Then Micaiah answered,“ I saw all the Israelites scattered on the hills. They were like sheep that didn’t have a shepherd. The Lord said,‘ These people do not have a master. Let each of them go home in peace.’ ”The king of Israel spoke to Jehoshaphat. He said,“ Didn’t I tell you he never prophesies anything good about me? He only prophesies bad things.”

“ Israel is like a scattered flock that lions have chased away. The first lion that ate them up was the king of Assyria. The last one that broke their bones was Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.”
