Ezekiel 34:5-6, 31

They were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the predators of the field. My flock wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill; My flock was scattered over all the face of the earth and no one searched or sought them.” ’ ” [Matt 9:36]

“As for you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord GOD.
