In times when leadership is absent or ineffective, communities can become disorganized and vulnerable, similar to sheep without a shepherd. This metaphor underscores the critical role of leaders in providing direction, protection, and care. Without a guiding presence, people may feel lost and exposed to various challenges and dangers, much like sheep that become prey to wild animals. This passage calls attention to the need for compassionate and responsible leadership that prioritizes the well-being and safety of its members. It also serves as a reminder for individuals to seek guidance and support from those who are wise and capable of leading with integrity. By valuing and supporting good leadership, communities can thrive and remain resilient in the face of adversity.
So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals.
