1. The word of the Lord came to me:
2. Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them: To the shepherds, thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been pasturing themselves! Should not shepherds pasture the flock?
3. You consumed milk, wore wool, and slaughtered fatlings, but the flock you did not pasture.
