Ezekiel 34:2-10

2“Son of man, prophesy against the 1shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to 2those shepherds, ‘This is what the Lord 3God says: “Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been 45feeding themselves! Should the shepherds not 67feed the flock? 3You 8eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you 9slaughter the fat sheep 10without feeding the flock. 4Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, 11the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you 12searched for the lost; but with force and with violence you have 13dominated them. 5They 14scattered for lack of a shepherd, and they became 15food for every animal of the field and scattered. 6My flock 16strayed through all the mountains and on every high hill; 17My flock was scattered over all the surface of the earth, and there was 18no one to search or seek for them.”’”

7Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8“As I live,” declares the Lord God, “certainly, because My flock has become 19plunder, and My flock has become food for all the animals of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock, 9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10‘This is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am 20against the shepherds, and I will demand My 21sheep 22from them and make them 23stop tending sheep. So the shepherds will not 24feed themselves anymore, but I will 25save My sheep from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”
