Ezekiel 34:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Ye eat the [a]fat, and ye clothe you with the wool: ye kill them that are fed, but ye feed not the sheep.
4 The [b]weak have ye not strengthened: the sick have ye not healed, neither have ye bound up the broken, nor brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost, but with cruelty, and with rigor have ye ruled them.
5 And they were scattered without a shepherd: and when they were dispersed, they were [c]devoured of all the beasts of the field.
