17 So he said: “I certainly see all the Israelites scattered+ on the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd.+ And Jehovah went on to say: ‘These have no masters.* Let them go back each one to his house in peace.’”+

2 Therefore this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said against the shepherds who are shepherding my people: “YOU yourselves have scattered my sheep; and YOU kept dispersing them, and YOU have not turned your attention to them.”+

“Here I am turning my attention upon YOU for the badness of YOUR dealings,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

6 A flock of perishing creatures my people has become.+ Their own shepherds have caused them to wander about.+ On the mountains they have led them away.+ From mountain to hill they have gone. They have forgotten their resting-place.+

36 On seeing the crowds he felt pity+ for them, because they were skinned* and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd.+

34 Well, on getting out, he saw a great crowd, but he was moved with pity+ for them, because they were as sheep without a shepherd.+ And he started to teach them many things.+
