2 Therefore this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said against the shepherds who are shepherding my people: “YOU yourselves have scattered my sheep; and YOU kept dispersing them, and YOU have not turned your attention to them.”+

“Here I am turning my attention upon YOU for the badness of YOUR dealings,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

2 ‘YOU people only have I known+ out of all the families of the ground.+ That is why I shall hold an accounting against YOU for all YOUR errors.+

3 “Against the shepherds my anger has grown hot,+ and against the goatlike leaders+ I shall hold an accounting;+ for Jehovah of armies has turned his attention to his drove,+ the house of Judah, and has made them like his horse+ of dignity in the battle.
