8 “As I live,” declares the Lord God, “surely because My flock has become a (A)prey, My flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock; 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am (B)against the shepherds, and I will demand My (a)sheep (b)from them and make them (C)cease from feeding (c)sheep. So the shepherds will not (d)feed themselves anymore, but I will (D)deliver My flock from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them.”’”
