“By my life, I promise this to you. Wild animals caught my sheep. Yes, my flock has become food for all the wild animals. Why? Because they did not have a real shepherd.

These false teachers have made many people suffer. So they themselves will suffer. That is their pay for what they have done. These false teachers think it is fun to do evil things openly \{where all people can see\}. They enjoy the evil things that please them. So they are like dirty spots and stains among you—\{they bring shame to you\} in the meals that you eat together.
