What does Ezekiel 34:8 mean?

As surely as I live, says the Lord God, because my flock has been left to be hunted and torn apart—without anyone stepping in to protect them, and because my shepherds only cared about themselves and ignored my sheep— Ezekiel 34:8 - Modern Text Bible

(God is declaring that the leaders who were supposed to care for his people have failed, letting them be exploited and harmed.)
