greedy - literally, “strong” (that is, insatiable) in appetite (Eze 34:2, Eze 34:3; Mic 3:11).

cannot understand - unable to comprehend the wants of the people, spiritually: so Isa 56:10, “cannot bark.”

look to ... own way - that is, their own selfish interests; not to the spiritual welfare of the people (Jer 6:13; Eze 22:27).

from his quarter - rather, “from the highest to the lowest” [Lowth]. “From his quarter”; that is, from one end to the other of them, one and all (Gen 19:4).
