Ezekiel 34:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ You drink their milk and use their wool to make your clothes. Then you butcher the best ones for food. But you don't take care of the flock! ⁴ You have never protected the weak ones or healed the sick ones or bandaged those that get hurt. You let them wander off and never look for those that get lost. You are cruel and mean to my sheep. ^5 (A) They strayed in every direction, and because there was no shepherd to watch them, they were attacked and eaten by wild animals.
