“Woe to you shepherds of Israel, who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. You have not strengthened the weak or heal the sick or bind up the injured. You have not brought back strays or or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.” Ezekiel 34:2-4
