KJV ORIGINAL
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
This is what the Lord God says: I'm coming for these so-called shepherds. I'm holding them accountable for what they've done to my people, and I'm shutting down their whole operation. No more will they get to feed themselves while my flock starves. I'm rescuing my people from their grip so they can't devour them anymore.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's calling out fake leaders who use people instead of caring for them — and he's stepping in to stop it.
