 A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah. Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pastor, says the Lord. Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who shepherd my people, you have scattered my sheep and driven them away. You have not cared for them, but I will take care to punish your evil deeds. I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them.
