"You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed. "
— Ezekiel 34:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.”
“Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. ”
“You eat the fat, and you clothe yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you don't feed the sheep.”
“You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the choice animals, but you do not feed the sheep!”
“You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.”
“You take the milk and are clothed with the wool, you put the fat beasts to death, but you give the sheep no food.”
“Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.”
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
“Son of man, prophesy about the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you shall say to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?
You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed.
What was weak, you have not strengthened, and what was sick, you have not healed. What was broken, you have not bound, and what was cast aside, you have not led back again, and what was lost, you have not sought. Instead, you ruled over them with severity and with power.
And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, and they were dispersed.
My sheep have wandered to every mountain and to every exalted hill. And my flocks have been scattered across the face of the earth. And there was no one who sought them; there was no one, I say, who sought them.
