10:21For our leaders44 are stupid.
They have not sought the Lord’s advice.45
So they do not act wisely,
and the people they are responsible for46 have all been scattered.
Footnotes
- 44 Heb “the shepherds.”
- 45 Heb “They have not sought the Lord.” The idiom translated sought the Lord’s advice quite commonly refers to inquiring for the Lord’s guidance through a prophet. See for example Exod 18:15; 1 Sam 9:9; 1 Kgs 22:8. It would not exclude consulting the law.
- 46 Heb “all their flock (or “pasturage”).” This verse uses the figure of rulers as shepherds and the people they ruled as sheep. It is a common figure in the Bible. See Ezek 34 for an extended development of this metaphor.
