Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand - (Hebrews 13:17) rather, 'I require,' etc., for God already had begun to do so, having punished Zedekiah with the deprivation of eyesight, after having first caused his sons to be killed, and then the other princes to be slain (Jeremiah 52:10).
