Thus said the LORD my God, Tend the flock doomed to slaughter. This divine commission directs the prophet to care for God's people, described as a flock destined for destruction—indicating that they have become victims of exploitation by false shepherds. The imperative to tend this flock suggests that redemption begins with faithful leadership that genuinely serves the people's spiritual welfare. This verse establishes the central concern of the rest of chapter 11: the nature of true shepherding and the judgment against false shepherds who exploit rather than protect the flock.
