Prophecy Concerning Israel's Shepherds And Sheep

¹ And the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, ² Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? ³ You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you kill the fat ones, but you do not feed the flock.
