Ezekiel 34:5

They, my neglected sheep, were scattered, by the inroads and invasions of their enemies, that broke in like devouring beasts. No shepherd; no vigilant, faithful, good shepherd that loved the flock, and of love studied its welfare. Became meat; were made a prey of, and devoured by Syrians, Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites, &c., all their neighbours might the devour them. The beasts, signify men, troops of robbers, and spoilers. When they were scattered; as sheep scattered are easily devoured by every hungry wolf or fox.
