 The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 23

1 Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! declares the Lord.

2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the shepherds who tend my people: “You have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them. I will surely punish you for the evil you have done,” declares the Lord.

3 I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their folds, where they will be fruitful and increase in number.

4 I will set shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord.
