Context Readings

Israel's Shepherds: Good And Bad

14 I broke my other staff in pieces. It was the one I called Bands. That way I broke the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 15 The Lord said to me, “Take again for yourself the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 Warning! I will allow a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are perishing, and will not seek those that are scattered. This shepherd will not heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is hungry. He will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
