Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hostsª concerning¹ the prophets;ª Behold,¹ I will feedª° them with wormwood,ª and make them drinkª° the waterª of gall:ª for¹ from¹¹ the prophetsª of Jerusalemª is profanenessª gone forthª° into all¹ the land.ª" {Jer 23:11-15} + "The priestsª saidª° not,¹ Where¹ [is] the LORD?ª and they that handleª° the lawª knewª° me not:¹ the pastorsª° also transgressedª° against me, and the prophetsª prophesiedª° by Baal,ª and walkedª° afterª [things that] do not¹ profit.ª°" {Jer 2:8} + "For¹ the pastorsª° are become brutish,ª° and have not¹ soughtª° the LORD:ª therefore¹¹ they shall not¹ prosper,ª° and all¹ their flocksª shall be scattered.ª°" {Jer 10:21} + "Manyª pastorsª° have destroyedª° my vineyard,ª they have trodden²° my portion² under foot,ª°¹¹ they have madeª°¹ my pleasantª portionª a desolateª wilderness.ª" {Jer 12:10} + "The windª shall eat upª° all¹ thy pastors,ª° and thy loversª° shall go²°¹ into captivity:ª surely¹ then¹ shalt thou be ashamedª° and confoundedª° for all¹¹ thy wickedness.ª" {Jer 22:22} + "Howl,ª° ye shepherds,ª° and cry;ª° and wallow²° yourselves¹ [in the ashes], ye principalª of the flock:ª for¹ the daysª of your slaughterª° and of your dispersionsª are accomplished;ª° and ye shall fallª° like a pleasantª vessel.ª ... A voiceª of the cryª of the shepherds,ª° and an howlingª of the principalª of the flock,ª [shall be heard]: for¹ the LORDª hath spoiledª°¹ their pasture.ª" {Jer 25:34-36} + "My peopleª hath been¹ lostª° sheep:ª their shepherdsª° have caused them to go astray,ª° they have turned them awayª°°² [on] the mountains:ª they have goneª° from mountainª¹ to¹ hill,ª they have forgottenª° their restingplace.ª" {Jer 50:6} + "All¹ ye beastsª of the field,ª comeª° to devour,ª° [yea], all¹ ye beastsª in the forest.ª ...

The peopleª of the landª have used¹ oppression,ª²° and exercisedª° robbery,ª and have vexedª° the poorª and needy:ª yea, they have oppressedª° the strangerª wrongfully.ª¹" {Ezk 22:25-29} + "Sonª of man,ª prophesyª° against¹ the shepherdsª° of Israel,ª prophesy,ª° and sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GODª unto the shepherds;ª° Woeª [be] to the shepherdsª° of Israelª that¹ do feedª°¹ themselves! should not¹ the shepherdsª° feedª° the flocks?ª ... Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Behold,¹ I [am] against¹ the shepherds;ª° and I will requireª°¹ my flockª at their hand,ª¹ and cause them to ceaseª° from feedingª°¹ the flock;ª neither¹ shall the shepherdsª° feedª° themselves any more;¹ for I will deliverª° my flockª from their mouth,ª¹ that they may not¹ be¹ meatª for them." {Ezk 34:2-10} + "Because¹ ye have thrustª° with sideª and with shoulder,ª and pushedª° all¹ the diseasedª° with your horns,ª till¹¹ ye have scatteredª° them abroad;ª¹" {Ezk 34:21} + "The headsª thereof judgeª° for reward,ª and the priestsª thereof teachª° for hire,ª and the prophetsª thereof divineª° for money:ª yet will they leanª° upon¹ the LORD,ª and say,ª° [Is] not¹ the LORDª amongª us? none¹ evilª can comeª° upon¹ us. ... Therefore¹ shall Zionª for your sakeª be plowedª° [as] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of the forest.ª" {Mic 3:11-12} + "Her princesª withinª her [are] roaringª° lions;ª her judgesª° [are] eveningª wolves;ª they gnaw not the bonesª°¹ till the morrow.ª ... Her prophetsª [are] lightª° [and] treacherousª persons:²¹ her priestsª have pollutedª° the sanctuary,ª they have done violenceª° to the law.ª" {Zph 3:3-4} + "Whose¹ possessorsª° slayª° them, and hold themselves not guilty:ª°¹ and they that sellª° them say,ª° Blessedª° [be] the LORD;ª for I am rich:ª° and their own shepherdsª° pityª°¹ them not.¹ ... And I will feedª°¹ the flockª of slaughter,ª [even] you,² O poorª of the flock.ª And I tookª° unto me twoª staves;ª the oneª I calledª° Beauty,ª and the otherª I calledª° Bands;²°¹ and I fedª°¹ the flock.ª" {Zch 11:5-7} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ me, Takeª° unto thee yet¹ the instrumentsª of a foolishª shepherd.ª° ...
