The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 34:17

The flock divided. When the flock is found it is not all treated alike. The rough, horned cattle are separated from the gentle, helpless sheep. Israel was not to be restored to prosperity as a nation without discrimination. God would judge between the different characters of exiles. Judgment of individuals is here referred to. I. GOD DEALS WITH INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS WITH NATIONS . As there are national sins, so there are national punishments, and also national... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 34:17-22

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 34:17-22

The sinfulness of selfishness. It was not only the shepherds, but some of the sheep, of" the rams and the he-goats," that were injuring and robbing the sheep. It was not only the kings and the princes, but the strong and wealthy among the people of Israel, that were disturbing and distressing the land. It is not only those "who have the rule over" the Churches of Christ, but some of the fellow-members, who have to be corrected, and whose conduct needs to be transformed. Ezekiel's vision... read more

Ezekiel 34:17 ; Ezekiel 34:19 . As for you, O my flock The prophet, having finished what he had to say to the shepherds, now delivers God’s message to the flock.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:1-31

Rulers past and future (34:1-31)The leaders of Israel, whether of the northern kingdom or the southern, were supposed to be shepherds, but instead of caring for the people they exploited them. Their sole concern was for themselves (34:1-4). Because of their neglect of the flock, the sheep were attacked and scattered. Because of the corruption of its leaders, Israel was destroyed by hostile nations and its people taken captive into foreign countries (5-6).God will therefore punish the shepherds,... read more
