The enemy will steal their camels\par and take their large herds of cattle.\par The enemy will steal their large herds.\par Those people cut the corners of their beards. {\cf2\super [405]} \par Well, I will make them run away\par to the far corners of the earth.\par And I will bring terrible troubles to them\par from everywhere.”\par This message is from the Lord.\par
The Lord says, “I am very angry at the shepherds (leaders). I made those leaders responsible for what happens to my sheep (people).” (The people of Judah are God’s flock. And the Lord All-Powerful really does take care of his flock. He cares for them like a soldier cares for his beautiful war horse.)
