Ezekiel 34:2, 7-10

“Son of man, prophesy against the leaders of Israel; prophesy and say to them, ‘Listen, you leaders, Lord YAHWEH has a message for you: Disaster is in store for the shepherds of Israel whose only concern is to feed themselves. Aren’t shepherds supposed to feed the sheep?

“ ‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of YAHWEH: As surely as I live, declares Lord YAHWEH—my sheep have become the prey of every wild beast. Since there was no shepherd to protect my sheep, they have been devoured. My shepherds have not searched for my sheep; they have cared for themselves and not the flock. Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of YAHWEH: Lord YAHWEH says: Behold, I am against you selfish shepherds! I will hold you accountable for my flock, and I will demand that you return my flock to me. No longer will you feed only yourselves because I will rescue my sheep from your mouths. You will help yourselves to my sheep no longer.’ ”
