está afligido porque no hay pastor.

Zechariah 10:2 - The Message

"Store-bought gods babble gibberish.
   Religious experts spout rubbish.
They pontificate hot air.
   Their prescriptions are nothing but smoke.
And so the people wander like lost sheep,
   poor lost sheep without a shepherd.
I’m furious with the so-called shepherds.
   They’re worse than billy goats, and I’ll treat them like goats."
