You have not strengthened the weak, you have not healed the sick, you have not bound up the injured, you have not brought back the strayed, you have not sought the lost, but with force and harshness you have ruled them, outlining the shepherds' failures in care and their substitution of coercive force. The accumulation of negations—six specific failures—establishes systematic neglect of basic pastoral responsibility. The inversion of care into harsh rule suggests oppressive governance.
