Ezekiel 34:1-6
Prophecy Against the Shepherds of Israel
1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 a “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: b Ah, shepherds of Israel c who have been feeding yourselves! d Should not shepherds feed the sheep? 3 e You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool f you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. 4 g The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed h the injured you have not bound up i the strayed you have not brought back j the lost you have not sought, and with force and k harshness you have ruled them. 5 l So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and m they became food for all the wild beasts. 6 My sheep were scattered; they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, n with none to search or seek for them.
