Prophecy Against the Shepherds of Israel

1 The word of the LORD came to me:
2 1"Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord GOD: 2Ah, shepherds of Israel 3who have been feeding yourselves! 4Should not shepherds feed the sheep?
3 5You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, 6you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep.
4 7The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, 8the injured you have not bound up, 9the strayed you have not brought back, 10the lost you have not sought, and with force and 11harshness you have ruled them.
5 12So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and 13they 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, 14with none to search or seek for them.
7 "Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
8 15As I live, declares the Lord GOD, surely because 16my sheep have become a prey, and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts, since there was no shepherd, and because my shepherds have not searched for my sheep, but the shepherds have fed themselves, and have not fed my sheep,
9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
10 Thus says the Lord GOD, 17Behold, I am against the shepherds, and 18I will require my sheep at their hand and 19put a stop to their feeding the sheep. 20No longer shall the shepherds feed themselves. 21I will rescue my sheep from their mouths, that they may not be food for them.
