You eat the fatty portions ... clothe yourselves in wool
"You are like shepherds who eat the fatty portions ... clothe yourselves in wool". This continues speaking of the leaders of Israel as if they were bad shepherds that kill the best animals in their flock for food and clothing. God is against those who exploit others. He will protect and take care of his people.
