Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Þe Lord God seith þese thingis, Lo! Y my silf am ouer scheepherdis; Y schal seke my floc of þe hond of hem, and Y schal make hem to ceesse, þat þei fede no more my flok, and þat þe scheepherdis feede no more hem silf. And Y schal delyuere my floc fro þe mouth of hem, and it schal no more be in to mete to hem.
