31/08/2012

… for the sake of the American Empire …

23/08/2012

– Brad S. Gregory, historian, The Unintended Reformation (2012)

Trouble for the shepherds of Israel…

23/08/2012

Trouble for the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shepherds ought to feed their flock, yet you have fed on milk, you have dressed yourselves in wool, you have sacrificed the fattest sheep, but failed to feed the flock. You have failed to make weak sheep strong, or to care for the sick ones, or bandage the wounded ones. You have failed to bring back strays or look for the lost. On the contrary, you have ruled them cruelly and violently. For lack of a shepherd they have scattered, to become the prey of any wild animal; they have scattered far. My flock is straying this way and that, on mountains and on high hills; my flock has been scattered all over the country; no one bothers about them and no one looks for them.

Ezekiel, 34:2b-6 (The Jerusalem Bible)
