1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord God; O shepherds of Israel, do shepherds feed themselves? do not the shepherds feed the sheep?

— Ezekiel 34:3 —

4The weak one ye have not strengthened, and the sick ye have not cherished, and the bruised ye have not bound up, and the stray one ye have not turned back, and the lost ye have not sought; and the strong ye have wearied with labor.

5And my sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds: and they became meat to all the wild beasts of the field.
