There is an old distinction between "profession" and "confession" which seems to apply here. To profess is to simply make a claim with your mouth to be a Christian; to confess is to give witness from the heart of what you know to be true. Those who confess Christ and are not afraid to do so before other men, will have their reward from Him.

Here and in verse 16 just before, we see God giving Israel over to the rule of a careless shepherd.
This shepherd would do them harm and not good. They had rejected Jehovah-God as their Shepherd-king, and now they were given another shepherd whom they would chafe under.

BEWARE OF EGOIST PREACHER.

who cloaks their self-absorption in the fabric of the divine. They speak of humility but feed on your adulation, turning the altar into a mirror and the congregation into an audience. When a spiritual leader is more invested in building their own kingdom than comforting yours, their words become hollow. Listen closely to the underlying melody of their message: if every sermon secretly stars them, and every virtue they praise is one they claim to possess, it is not faith they are preaching it is themselves. Walk away, because a shepherd who falls in love with their own voice will eventually forget how to protect the flock.

When an egoist preacher takes the stage, their claims almost always serve a singular purpose: to elevate themselves while keeping the congregation dependent on them. Because they cannot rely on genuine, humble service, they manufacture authority through specific, elevated assertions.
​1. Claims of Divine Exclusivity
​2. Claims of Infallibility and Untouchability
​"Touch not my anointed."
​"To question me is to question the entity that sent me."
​3. Claims of Personal Credit for Spiritual Outcomes
​4. Claims of Material Reward as Spiritual Validation
