1Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture, declares Yahweh.

2Therefore this is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: You have scattered my flock and driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds, declares Yahweh.

3And I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply.

4And I will raise up over them shepherds who will shepherd them, and they will no longer fear, nor be dismayed, nor will any be missing, declares Yahweh.
