Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
Ver. 1. Woe to the pastors,] i.e., To the rulers and chieftains, whether in the State or Church; woe to the wicked of both sorts; and why?
They destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture.] So he calleth the people, how bad soever, because of the covenant with their fathers.
