So wahr ich lebe, spricht Gott, der Herr , weil meine Schafe zum Raube und allen wilden Tieren des Feldes zur Speise geworden sind, weil sie keinen Hirten haben und meine Hirten meinen Schafen nicht nachfragen, weil sie nur sich selbst und nicht meine Schafe weiden,
So wahr ich lebe, spricht der HERR HERR, weil ihr meine Schafe lasset zum Raub und meine Herde allen wilden Tieren zur Speise werden, weil sie keinen Hirten haben und meine Hirten nach meiner Herde nicht fragen, sondern sind solche Hirten, die sich selbst weiden, aber meine Schafe wollen sie nicht weiden:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
As I live, saith the Lord,.... It is an oath, and which he swore in his wrath, being provoked with the shepherds for their misadministration:
surely, because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd; a prey to all the kingdoms of the people, being without a governor, as the Targum; or to false teachers, there being no spiritual pastors to take care of them:
neither did my shepherds search for my flock; that was scattered, and carried captive, and became a prey to others; even those that were of God's appointing, as the kings of Israel, their priests and prophets; for both their civil polity and ecclesiastical hierarchy were of God, though the ends thereof were not answered, or the persons put into office did not do their duty:
but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock:
