“The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.”
So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and scattered, they became food for all the wild beasts, and they were scattered over all the earth, describing the consequences of bad shepherding: dispersion, vulnerability to predators, and abandonment. The scattering reflects historical Judahite exile and diaspora.
