It is you who have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to
them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the LORD.

Jeremiah has been speaking out trying to save the people, but the leaders of Israel have not been
listening. It was a time for the people to repent their sins, but their king and religious leaders
were saying everything was fine. It was a time of war, but false prophets were prophesying
peace. These were misleading promises made to maintain the current situation. And it would all
be for naught.
