² “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: ^(A)“Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

¹⁰ Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am ^(A)against the shepherds, and ^(B)I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall ^(C)feed themselves no more; for I will ^(D)deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.”

⁹ For ^(A)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are ^(B)God’s building.

^16 (A)Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
