OET (OET-RV) “Well,” he said, “I saw all Israel scattered into the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and Yahweh said that they have no leaders so they should all return peacefully to their homes.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
I saw all Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said saw DOM all/each/any/every Yisrael scattered to/towards the,mountains like_the,sheep which/who not to/for=them shepherd and=he/it_said YHWH not master have,these return (a)_man to,home,his in/on/at/with,peace )
Here “all Israel” refers to the army of Israel. Alternate translation: “I saw the entire army of Israel”

like sheep who have no shepherd
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said saw DOM all/each/any/every Yisrael scattered to/towards the,mountains like_the,sheep which/who not to/for=them shepherd and=he/it_said YHWH not master have,these return (a)_man to,home,his in/on/at/with,peace )
The people of the army are compared to sheep that have no one to lead them because their shepherd, the king, has died.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
These have no shepherd
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said saw DOM all/each/any/every Yisrael scattered to/towards the,mountains like_the,sheep which/who not to/for=them shepherd and=he/it_said YHWH not master have,these return (a)_man to,home,his in/on/at/with,peace )
Yahweh speaks of the king as if he were a shepherd. Just like a shepherd is responsible to care for and protect his sheep, the king is responsible to lead and protect his people. Alternate translation: “These people no longer have a leader”
22:17 Like God himself (Ps 23; Isa 40:10-11), Israel’s kings and leaders were charged with care of the people much as a shepherd cares for his sheep (Num 27:16-17; Ezek 34:2, 11-16). The motif of the shepherd and the sheep, applied to the coming Messiah (Ezek 34:23-24), was fulfilled in Christ the Good Shepherd (John 10:1-11). Although he laid down his life for the sheep (John 10:14-18; 1 Pet 2:24-25), he still lives (Heb 13:20) and will come again for them (1 Pet 5:4).

OET (OET-RV) “Well,” he said, “I saw all Israel scattered into the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and Yahweh said that they have no leaders so they should all return peacefully to their homes.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
