Jeremiah 23:1-4
Woe to the
shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds
who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my flock, and have
driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to
you for your evil doings, says the LORD. Then 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 fold, and they shall be fruitful and
multiply. I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and
they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing,
says the LORD.
