Ezekiel
34 : The word of Jehovah again came to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to the shepherds, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel,+ who have been feeding themselves! Is it not the flock that the shepherds should feed?+ 3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, and you slaughter the fattest animal,+ but you do not feed the flock.+ 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bandaged the injured or brought back the strays or looked for the lost;+ rather, you have ruled them with harshness and tyranny.+ 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd;+ they were scattered and became food for every wild beast of the field. 6 My sheep were straying on all the mountains and on every high hill; my sheep were scattered over all the surface of the earth, with no one searching for them or seeking to find them.
7 “‘“Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: 8 ‘“As surely as I am alive,” declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “because my sheep have become prey, food for every wild beast of the field, for there was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not search for my sheep; rather, they kept feeding themselves and did not feed my sheep,”’ 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah. 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: ‘I am against the shepherds, and I will demand an accounting of them for my sheep,* and I will dismiss them from feeding* my sheep,+ and the shepherds will no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my sheep from their mouth, and they will no longer be food for them.’”
11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Here I am, and I myself will search for my sheep, and I will care for them.+ 12 I will care for my sheep like a shepherd who has found his scattered sheep and is feeding them.+ I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered in the day of clouds and thick gloom.+ 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and collect them together from the lands and bring them into their land and feed them on the mountains of Israel,+ by the streams and by all the dwelling places of the land. 14 In a good pasture I will feed them, and the land where they graze will be on Israel’s high mountains.+ They will lie down there in a good grazing land,+ and they will feed on choice pastures on the mountains of Israel.”
15 “‘“I myself will feed my sheep,+ and I myself will make them lie down,”+ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. 16 “The lost one I will search for,+ the stray I will bring back, the injured I will bandage, and the weak I will strengthen; but the fat one and the strong one I will annihilate. I will feed that one with judgment.”

I didn't want our dear Skally (peace to you, as well, luv!) to think I was just taking issue with HER and so being arbitrarily contentious!
