Ezekiel 34:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ My sheep wandered all over the mountains and high hills. They were scattered over the whole earth. No one searched for them. No one looked for them.”

⁷ “ ‘Shepherds, listen to the Lord’s message. He says, ⁸ “My flock does not have a shepherd. Many of my sheep have been stolen. They have become food for all the wild animals. My shepherds did not care for my sheep. They did not even search for them. Instead, they only took care of themselves. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King.
