1. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
2. “Human, prophesy against the leaders of Israel, who are like shepherds. Prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Lord God says: How terrible it will be for the shepherds of Israel who feed only themselves! Why don’t the shepherds feed the flock?
3. You eat the milk curds, and you clothe yourselves with the wool. You kill the fat sheep, but you do not feed the flock.
