‏ Ezekiel 34:8-10

8 “As I live,” declares the Lord God, “certainly, because My flock has become ^aplunder, and My flock has become food for all the animals of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am ^bagainst the shepherds, and I will demand My ^{▼▼Or flock}sheep ^{▼▼Lit from their hand}from them and make them ^estop tending sheep. So the shepherds will not ^{▼▼Lit pasture, and so throughout the ch}feed themselves anymore, but I will ^gsave My sheep from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”
