1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep?

3Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep.

4The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought back that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor have ye ruled over them.

5And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
