"Ah, you shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves!" Ezekiel 34:2 (NRSV)
You have not guided the sheep with love.(sic)
"but with force and harshness you have ruled them." Ezekiel 34:4 (NRSV)
This was the judgement of God towards the Shepherds of Israel - His own Priests - in the time of Ezekiel.
And it is still true today!
