[7] Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; [8] As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, search for my flock, but the shepherds not my flock; [9] Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; [10] Thus saith the Lord Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
