Ezekiel 34:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ You eat the fat sheep and use their wool to make clothes for yourselves. You kill the fat sheep, but you don’t feed the flock. ⁴ You have not made the weak strong. You have not cared for the sick sheep. You have not put bandages on the sheep that were hurt. Some of the sheep wandered away, and you did not go get them and bring them back. You did not go to look for the lost sheep. No, you were cruel and severe—that’s the way you tried to lead the sheep!

⁵ “‘And now the sheep are scattered because there was no shepherd. They became food for every wild animal, so they were scattered.
