For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [which] shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

Theological / Devotional

Eat the flesh. A graphic symbolical representation of the experience that came to Israel when, having rejected God’s leadership, they forfeited the divine protection, and the nation became the prey of hostile nations.
