2
Mortal, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to them—to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Ah, you shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep?
3
You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep.
4
You have not strengthened the weak, you have not healed the sick, you have not bound up the injured, you have not brought back the strayed, you have not sought the lost, but with force and harshness you have ruled them.
5
So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and scattered, they became food for all the wild animals.
