⁴ Thus said the Lord my God: ^(A)“Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter. ^5 (B)Those who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, ^(C)I have become rich,’ and their own shepherds have no pity on them. ⁶ For ^(D)I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, declares the Lord. Behold, I will cause each of them to fall into the hand of his neighbor, and each into the hand of his king, and they shall crush the land, and I will deliver none from their hand.”
