9 ^aAll you beasts of the field, come to devour—
all you beasts in the forest.
10 ^bHis watchmen are blind;
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent ^cdogs;
they cannot bark,
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
11 ^dThe dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
But ^ethey are shepherds who have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
^feach to his own gain, one and all.
12 ^g“Come,” they say, “let me get wine;
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
^hand tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure.”

Jeremiah 2:8

8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
ⁱThose who handle the law did not know me;
^jthe shepherds ^{▼▼Or rulers} transgressed against me;
^lthe prophets prophesied by Baal
and went after ^mthings that do not profit.

Jeremiah 10:21

21 ⁿFor the shepherds ^oare stupid
and do not inquire of the Lord;
therefore they have not prospered,
^pand all their flock is scattered.

Jeremiah 12:10

10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard;
^qthey have trampled down my portion;
they have made my pleasant portion
a desolate wilderness.

Jeremiah 22:22

22 ^rThe wind shall shepherd all your shepherds,
and ^syour lovers shall go into captivity;
^tthen you will be ashamed and confounded
because of all your evil.

Jeremiah 23:2

2 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning ^uthe shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. ^vBehold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:11-15

11 ^w“Both prophet and priest are ungodly;
even ^xin my house I have found their evil,

declares the Lord.
12 ^yTherefore their way shall be to them
like slippery paths ^zin the darkness,
into which they shall be driven and fall,
for I will bring disaster upon them
^aain the year of their punishment,

declares the Lord.
13 In the prophets of ^abSamaria
^acI saw an unsavory thing:
^adthey prophesied by Baal
^aeand led my people Israel astray.
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
^afthey commit adultery and walk in lies;
^agthey strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
^ahall of them have become like Sodom to me,
^aiand its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
^aj“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
^akand give them ^alpoisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”

Jeremiah 25:34-36

34 ^am“Wail, ^anyou shepherds, and cry out,
^aoand roll in ashes, you lords of the flock,
for the days of your slaughter and dispersion have come,
and you shall fall like a choice vessel.
35 No refuge will remain ^apfor the shepherds,
nor escape for the lords of the flock.
36 A voice—the cry ^aqof the shepherds,
^arand the wail of the lords of the flock!
For the Lord is laying waste their pasture,

Jeremiah 50:6

6 ^as“My people have been lost sheep. ^atTheir shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains. From mountain to hill they have gone. They have forgotten their fold.
