OBAMA GOD HEARD THE CRIES OF HIS PEOPLE
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds, the leaders of Israel. Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: What sorrow awaits you shepherds who feed yourselves instead of your flocks. Shouldn’t shepherds feed their sheep? 3 You drink the milk, wear the wool, and butcher the best animals, but you let your flocks starve. 4 You
have not taken care of the weak. You have not tended the sick or bound
up the injured. You have not gone looking for those who have wandered
away and are lost. Instead, you have ruled them with harshness and
cruelty. 5 So my sheep have been scattered without a shepherd, and they are easy prey for any wild animal. 6 They
have wandered through all the mountains and all the hills, across the
face of the earth, yet no one has gone to search for them.
8 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord,
you abandoned my flock and left them to be attacked by every wild
animal. And though you were my shepherds, you didn’t search for my sheep
when they were lost. You took care of yourselves and left the sheep to
starve. 9 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord. 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord
says: I now consider these shepherds my enemies, and I will hold them
responsible for what has happened to my flock. I will take away their
right to feed the flock, and I will stop them from feeding themselves. I
will rescue my flock from their mouths; the sheep will no longer be
their prey.
