Who shall not visit — Who seeks not out those that are lost. The young one — Which are aptest to perish through weakness. Nor heal — But leaves it to die of its wounds. That stand still — Not able to go forward. Will eat — Feast on the fattest of the flock. Tear their claws — Tear off their skin unto the very nails; in brief, a sluggish, negligent, covetous, riotous, oppressive, and cruel government, is shadowed out by a foolish shepherd.

16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off,f neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
