Ezekiel 34:3
"“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?"
Key Reflection
This passage critiques leaders in ancient Israel for prioritizing their own needs over those of the people, symbolized by sheep. It highlights a profound failure in leadership, where true shepherdship requires selflessness and care for the flock, not personal gain or neglect.
