In Ezekiel 34:1-6, we see God condemning the leaders of Israel for neglecting, exploiting, and ruling harshly over His people. He calls them selfish and contrasts their behavior with that of the Good Shepherd in Isaiah 40:11, “He leads His flock like a Shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those who have young.” That’s because shepherds/Church leaders are to guide, guard, lead, and protect the flock, not destroy and scatter them. For ultimately, they will be accountable to God for their actions.
