Ezek 34:2-9 : 2 Son{H1121} of man{H120}, prophesy{H5012}{(H8734)} against the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} of Israel{H3478}, prophesy{H5012}{(H8734)}, and say{H559}{(H8804)} unto them, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069} unto the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}; Woe{H1945} be to the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} of Israel{H3478} that do feed{H7462}{(H8802)} themselves! should not the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} feed{H7462}{(H8799)} the flocks{H6629}? 3 Ye eat{H398}{(H8799)} the fat{H2459}, and ye clothe{H3847}{(H8799)} you with the wool{H6785}, ye kill{H2076}{(H8799)} them that are fed{H1277}: but ye feed{H7462}{(H8799)} not the flock{H6629}. 4 The diseased{H2470}{(H8737)} have ye not strengthened{H2388}{(H8765)}, neither have ye healed{H7495}{(H8765)} that which was sick{H2470}{(H8802)}, neither have ye bound up{H2280}{(H8804)} that which was broken{H7665}{(H8737)}, neither have ye brought again{H7725}{(H8689)} that which was driven away{H5080}{(H8737)}, neither have ye sought{H1245}{(H8765)} that which was lost{H6}{(H8802)}; but with force{H2394} and with cruelty{H6531} have ye ruled{H7287}{(H8804)} them. 5 And they were scattered{H6327}{(H8799)}, because there is no shepherd{H7462}{(H8802)}: and they became meat{H402} to all the beasts{H2416} of the field{H7704}, when they were scattered{H6327}{(H8799)}. 6 My sheep{H6629} wandered{H7686}{(H8799)} through all the mountains{H2022}, and upon every high{H7311}{(H8802)} hill{H1389}: yea, my flock{H6629} was scattered{H6327}{(H8738)} upon all the face{H6440} of the earth{H776}, and none did search{H1875}{(H8802)} or seek{H1245}{(H8764)} after them. 7 Therefore, ye shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}, hear{H8085}{(H8798)} the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}; 8 As I live{H2416}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, surely because my flock{H6629} became a prey{H957}, and my flock{H6629} became meat{H402} to every beast{H2416} of the field{H7704}, because there was no shepherd{H7462}{(H8802)}, neither did my shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} search{H1875}{(H8804)} for my flock{H6629}, but the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} fed{H7462}{(H8799)} themselves, and fed{H7462}{(H8804)} not my flock{H6629}; 9 Therefore, O ye shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}, hear{H8085}{(H8798)} the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}; 10 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Behold, I am against the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}; and I will require{H1875}{(H8804)} my flock{H6629} at their hand{H3027}, and cause them to cease{H7673}{(H8689)} from feeding{H7462}{(H8800)} the flock{H6629}; neither shall the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} feed{H7462}{(H8799)} themselves any more; for I will deliver{H5337}{(H8689)} my flock{H6629} from their mouth{H6310}, that they may not be meat{H402} for them.

Ezek 22:25-30 : 25 There is a conspiracy{H7195} of her prophets{H5030} in the midst{H8432} thereof, like a roaring{H7580}{(H8802)} lion{H738} ravening{H2963}{(H8802)} the prey{H2964}; they have devoured{H398}{(H8804)} souls{H5315}; they have taken{H3947}{(H8799)} the treasure{H2633} and precious things{H3366}; they have made her many{H7235}{(H8689)} widows{H490} in the midst{H8432} thereof. 26 Her priests{H3548} have violated{H2554}{(H8804)} my law{H8451}, and have profaned{H2490}{(H8762)} mine holy things{H6944}: they have put no difference{H914}{(H8689)} between the holy{H6944} and profane{H2455}, neither have they shewed{H3045}{(H8689)} difference between the unclean{H2931} and the clean{H2889}, and have hid{H5956}{(H8689)} their eyes{H5869} from my sabbaths{H7676}, and I am profaned{H2490}{(H8735)} among{H8432} them. 27 Her princes{H8269} in the midst{H7130} thereof are like wolves{H2061} ravening{H2963}{(H8802)} the prey{H2964}, to shed{H8210}{(H8800)} blood{H1818}, and to destroy{H6}{(H8763)} souls{H5315}, to get{H1214}{(H8800)} dishonest gain{H1215}. 28 And her prophets{H5030} have daubed{H2902}{(H8804)} them with untempered{H8602} morter, seeing{H2374} vanity{H7723}, and divining{H7080}{(H8802)} lies{H3577} unto them, saying{H559}{(H8802)}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, when the LORD{H3068} hath not spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}. 29 The people{H5971} of the land{H776} have used oppression{H6231}{(H8804)}{H6233}, and exercised{H1497}{(H8804)} robbery{H1498}, and have vexed{H3238}{(H8689)} the poor{H6041} and needy{H34}: yea, they have oppressed{H6231}{(H8804)} the stranger{H1616} wrongfully{H4941}. 30 And I sought{H1245}{(H8762)} for a man{H376} among them, that should make up{H1443}{(H8802)} the hedge{H1447}, and stand{H5975}{(H8802)} in the gap{H6556} before{H6440} me for the land{H776}, that I should not destroy{H7843}{(H8763)} it: but I found{H4672}{(H8804)} none.

Jer 23:9-9 : 9 Mine heart{H3820} within{H7130} me is broken{H7665}{(H8738)} because of the prophets{H5030}; all my bones{H6106} shake{H7363}{(H8804)}; I am like a drunken{H7910} man{H376}, and like a man{H1397} whom wine{H3196} hath overcome{H5674}{(H8804)}, because{H6440} of the LORD{H3068}, and because of the words{H1697} of his holiness{H6944}. 10 For the land{H776} is full{H4390}{(H8804)} of adulterers{H5003}{(H8764)}; for because{H6440} of swearing{H423} the land{H776} mourneth{H56}{(H8804)}; the pleasant places{H4999} of the wilderness{H4057} are dried up{H3001}{(H8804)}, and their course{H4794} is evil{H7451}, and their force{H1369} is not right. 11 For both prophet{H5030} and priest{H3548} are profane{H2610}{(H8804)}; yea, in my house{H1004} have I found{H4672}{(H8804)} their wickedness{H7451}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 12 Wherefore their way{H1870} shall be unto them as slippery{H2519} ways in the darkness{H653}: they shall be driven on{H1760}{(H8735)}, and fall{H5307}{(H8804)} therein: for I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} evil{H7451} upon them, even the year{H8141} of their visitation{H6486}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 13 And I have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} folly{H8604} in the prophets{H5030} of Samaria{H8111}; they prophesied{H5012}{(H8694)} in Baal{H1168}, and caused my people{H5971} Israel{H3478} to err{H8582}{(H8686)}. 14 I have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} also in the prophets{H5030} of Jerusalem{H3389} an horrible thing{H8186}: they commit adultery{H5003}{(H8800)}, and walk{H1980}{(H8800)} in lies{H8267}: they strengthen{H2388}{(H8765)} also the hands{H3027} of evildoers{H7489}{(H8688)}, that none{H376} doth return{H7725}{(H8804)} from his wickedness{H7451}: they are all of them unto me as Sodom{H5467}, and the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} thereof as Gomorrah{H6017}. 15 Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} concerning the prophets{H5030}; Behold, I will feed{H398}{(H8688)} them with wormwood{H3939}, and make them drink{H8248}{(H8689)} the water{H4325} of gall{H7219}: for from the prophets{H5030} of Jerusalem{H3389} is profaneness{H2613} gone forth{H3318}{(H8804)} into all the land{H776}. 16 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, Hearken{H8085}{(H8799)} not unto the words{H1697} of the prophets{H5030} that prophesy{H5012}{(H8737)} unto you: they make you vain{H1891}{(H8688)}: they speak{H1696}{(H8762)} a vision{H2377} of their own heart{H3820}, and not out of the mouth{H6310} of the LORD{H3068}. 17 They say{H559}{(H8802)} still{H559}{(H8800)} unto them that despise{H5006}{(H8764)} me, The LORD{H3068} hath said{H1696}{(H8765)}, Ye shall have peace{H7965}; and they say{H559}{(H8804)} unto every one that walketh{H1980}{(H8802)} after the imagination{H8307} of his own heart{H3820}, No evil{H7451} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} upon you. 18 For who hath stood{H5975}{(H8804)} in the counsel{H5475} of the LORD{H3068}, and hath perceived{H7200}{(H8799)} and heard{H8085}{(H8799)} his word{H1697}? who hath marked{H7181}{(H8689)} his word{H1697}, and heard{H8085}{(H8799)} it? 19 Behold, a whirlwind{H5591} of the LORD{H3068} is gone forth{H3318}{(H8804)} in fury{H2534}, even a grievous{H2342}{(H8711)} whirlwind{H5591}: it shall fall grievously{H2342}{(H8799)} upon the head{H7218} of the wicked{H7563}. 20 The anger{H639} of the LORD{H3068} shall not return{H7725}{(H8799)}, until he have executed{H6213}{(H8800)}, and till he have performed{H6965}{(H8687)} the thoughts{H4209} of his heart{H3820}: in the latter{H319} days{H3117} ye shall consider{H995}{(H8709)} it perfectly{H998}. 21 I have not sent{H7971}{(H8804)} these prophets{H5030}, yet they ran{H7323}{(H8804)}: I have not spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} to them, yet they prophesied{H5012}{(H8738)}. 22 But if they had stood{H5975}{(H8804)} in my counsel{H5475}, and had caused my people{H5971} to hear{H8085}{(H8686)} my words{H1697}, then they should have turned{H7725}{(H8686)} them from their evil{H7451} way{H1870}, and from the evil{H7455} of their doings{H4611}. 23 Am I a God{H430} at hand{H7138}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, and not a God{H430} afar off{H7350}? 24 Can any{H376} hide{H5641}{(H8735)} himself in secret places{H4565} that I shall not see{H7200}{(H8799)} him? saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. Do not I fill{H4392} heaven{H8064} and earth{H776}? saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 25 I have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} what the prophets{H5030} said{H559}{(H8804)}, that prophesy{H5012}{(H8737)} lies{H8267} in my name{H8034}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, I have dreamed{H2492}{(H8804)}, I have dreamed{H2492}{(H8804)}. 26 How long shall this be{H3426} in the heart{H3820} of the prophets{H5030} that prophesy{H5012}{(H8737)} lies{H8267}? yea, they are prophets{H5030} of the deceit{H8649} of their own heart{H3820}; 27 Which think{H2803}{(H8802)} to cause my people{H5971} to forget{H7911}{(H8687)} my name{H8034} by their dreams{H2472} which they tell{H5608}{(H8762)} every man{H376} to his neighbour{H7453}, as their fathers{H1} have forgotten{H7911}{(H8804)} my name{H8034} for Baal{H1168}. 28 The prophet{H5030} that hath a dream{H2472}, let him tell{H5608}{(H8762)} a dream{H2472}; and he that hath my word{H1697}, let him speak{H1696}{(H8762)} my word{H1697} faithfully{H571}. What is the chaff{H8401} to the wheat{H1250}? saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 29 Is not my word{H1697} like{H3541} as a fire{H784}? saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; and like a hammer{H6360} that breaketh{H6327} the rock{H5553} in pieces{H6327}{(H8787)}? 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets{H5030}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that steal{H1589}{(H8764)} my words{H1697} every one{H376} from his neighbour{H7453}. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets{H5030}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that use{H3947}{(H8802)} their tongues{H3956}, and say{H5001}{(H8799)}, He saith{H5002}{(H8803)}. 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy{H5012}{(H8737)} false{H8267} dreams{H2472}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, and do tell{H5608}{(H8762)} them, and cause my people{H5971} to err{H8582}{(H8686)} by their lies{H8267}, and by their lightness{H6350}; yet I sent{H7971}{(H8804)} them not, nor commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} them: therefore they shall not profit{H3276}{(H8686)} this people{H5971} at all{H3276}{(H8687)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.
Isa 56:10-12 : 10 His watchmen{H6822}{(H8802)} are blind{H5787}: they are all ignorant{H3045}{(H8804)}, they are all dumb{H483} dogs{H3611}, they cannot{H3201}{(H8799)} bark{H5024}{(H8800)}; sleeping{H1957}{(H8802)}, lying down{H7901}{(H8802)}, loving{H157}{(H8802)} to slumber{H5123}{(H8800)}. 11 Yea, they are greedy{H5794}{H5315} dogs{H3611} which can{H3045}{(H8804)} never have{H3045}{(H8804)} enough{H7654}, and they are shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} that cannot understand{H995}{(H8687)}: they all look{H6437}{(H8804)} to their own way{H1870}, every one{H376} for his gain{H1215}, from his quarter{H7097}. 12 Come{H857}{(H8798)} ye, say they, I will fetch{H3947}{(H8799)} wine{H3196}, and we will fill{H5433}{(H8799)} ourselves with strong drink{H7941}; and to morrow{H4279} shall be as this day{H3117}, and much{H3966} more{H3499} abundant{H1419}.
Jer 2:8 : 8 The priests{H3548} said{H559}{(H8804)} not, Where is the LORD{H3068}? and they that handle{H8610}{(H8802)} the law{H8451} knew{H3045}{(H8804)} me not: the pastors{H7462}{(H8802)} also transgressed{H6586}{(H8804)} against me, and the prophets{H5030} prophesied{H5012}{(H8738)} by Baal{H1168}, and walked{H1980}{(H8804)} after{H310} things that do not profit{H3276}{(H8686)}.
Jer 5:31 : 31 The prophets{H5030} prophesy{H5012}{(H8738)} falsely{H8267}, and the priests{H3548} bear rule{H7287}{(H8799)} by their means{H3027}; and my people{H5971} love{H157}{(H8804)} to have it so: and what will ye do{H6213}{(H8799)} in the end{H319} thereof?
Jer 8:9 : 9 The wise{H2450} men are ashamed{H3001}{(H8689)}, they are dismayed{H2865}{(H8804)} and taken{H3920}{(H8735)}: lo, they have rejected{H3988}{(H8804)} the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}; and what wisdom{H2451} is in them?
Jer 49:32 : 32 And their camels{H1581} shall be a booty{H957}, and the multitude{H1995} of their cattle{H4735} a spoil{H7998}: and I will scatter{H2219}{(H8765)} into all winds{H7307} them that are in the utmost{H7112}{(H8803)} corners{H6285}; and I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} their calamity{H343} from all sides{H5676} thereof, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.
