23 “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasturage!”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

3 And I proceeded to say: “Hear, please, YOU heads of Jacob and YOU commanders of the house of Israel.+ Is it not YOUR business to know justice?+

11 Her own head ones judge merely for a bribe,+ and her own priests instruct just for a price,+ and her own prophets practice divination simply for money;*+ yet upon Jehovah they keep supporting themselves, saying: “Is not Jehovah in the midst of us?+ There will come upon us no calamity.”+

3 Her princes in the midst of her were roaring lions.+ Her judges were evening wolves that did not gnaw [bones] till the morning.+

17 Woe to my valueless shepherd,+ who is leaving the flock!+ A sword will be upon his arm and upon his right eye. His own arm will without fail dry up,+ and his own right eye will without fail grow dim.”

13 “Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU shut up+ the kingdom of the heavens before men; for YOU+ yourselves do not go in, neither do YOU permit those on their way in to go in.
