Unfaithful Rulers to be Succeeded by those that are Faithful

23 Woe to the shepherds that ruin and scatter

The flock that was theirs to pasture.

2 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel,

Concerning the shepherds that tend my people:

Ye have scattered My flock and driven them away,

And ye have not visited them;

I therefore will visit you

For the wickedness of your doings.

3 I will gather My flock that is left

From the countries to which I have driven them;

I will bring them back to their homesteads,

And they shall be fruitful and multiply.

4 I will raise up shepherds to tend to them:

No fear or dismay or terror

Shall they know any more, saith Jehovah.
