Woe…

In case you forgot that God has some warnings for all humanity about living selfishly and filled with pride…here are a few reminders:

–

11. “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel.  Prophesy and say to those shepherds, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves!  Should not the shepherds feed the flock?” (Eze. 34:2)

It’s pathetic to ignore the warnings of God.
