⁸ “As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock ^(A)became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, ^(B)but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock”—

²⁸ And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but ^(A)they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid.
