21 The shepherds are senseless

and do not inquire of the Lord;

so they do not prosper

and all their flock is scattered.

21 For the shepherds are stupid

and do not inquire of the Lord;

therefore they have not prospered,

and all their flock is scattered.

21 For the pastors are become brutish,

And have not sought the Lord:

Therefore they shall not prosper,

And all their flocks shall be scattered.

21 The shepherds of my people have lost their senses.

They no longer seek wisdom from the Lord.

Therefore, they fail completely,

and their flocks are scattered.

21 For the shepherds have become dull-hearted,

And have not sought the Lord;

Therefore they shall not prosper,

And all their flocks shall be scattered.

21 The shepherds are stupid

and don’t ask the Lord for advice.

So they do not have success,

and all their flocks are scattered and lost.

21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not sought Jehovah; therefore have they not acted wisely, and all their flock is scattered.

21 The shepherds are foolish. 

They don’t look to the Lord for help. 

That is why they won’t succeed, 

and all their flocks will be scattered. 

21 For the shepherds are stupid:

they don’t seek the Lord.

Therefore they have not prospered,

and their whole flock is scattered.

21 For the shepherds are stupid,

and do not inquire of the Lord;

therefore they have not prospered,

and all their flock is scattered.

21 For the shepherds have become stupid,

they do not seek Yahweh.

Therefore they do not have insight,

and all of their flock are scattered.

21 The leaders of my people are like shepherds

who don’t have any sense.

They don’t ask the Lord for advice.

That’s why they don’t succeed.

And that’s why their whole flock

is scattered like sheep.
