The Righteous Branch

1 ^u“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. 2 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning ^uthe shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. ^vBehold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord.

32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and ^blead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when ^cI did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.
