Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:7-16

7-16 The Lord declared that he intended mercy towards the scattered flock. Doubtless this, in the first place, had reference to the restoration of the Jews. It also represented the good Shepherd's tender care of the souls of his people. He finds them in their days of darkness and ignorance, and brings them to his fold. He comes to their relief in times of persecution and temptation. He leads them in the ways of righteousness, and causes them to rest on his love and faithfulness. The proud and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 34:1-10

Woe upon the Shepherds of Israel v. 1. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 2. Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, the spiritual leaders of the people, but especially their civil governors, the men responsible for their welfare, set to guard the interests and provide for the good of their subjects, prophesy and say unto them, in rebuking them for the selfishness with which they sought their own ends in all their dealings, Thus saith the Lord God unto the... read more

II. THE DIVINE PROMISES1. Against the Shepherds of Israel, of the Shepherd Kindness of Jehovah toward His Flock, and of His Servant David (Ch. 34)1And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying: 2Son of man, prophesy upon the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that were 3feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? Ye ate the fat, and clothed yourselves with the wool; ye killed what was fed;... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezekiel 34:1-16

Selfish Shepherds Ezekiel 34:1-16 The shepherds of this chapter were not the religious leaders of the people, but rulers who sought in their government not the good of the people but their own selfish ends. But the statements made by the prophet may be rightly applied to rapacious priests who care more for the fleece than for the flock. Pastors are required to lead the flock of God not for filthy lucre but as examples for the sheep, 1 Peter 5:2-3 . It is their duty, also, to strengthen the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 34:1-31

The next prophecy dealt ultimately with the one Shepherd. It opened with an indictment of the false shepherds through whom all these evil things had happened to the people. Their sin had been that they had ministered to themselves. Feeding themselves and clothing themselves, they had not fed the sheep, neither had they ministered to the diseased and the sick and the broken and the needy. The result of the failure of the shepherds was that the people were scattered, and had become a prey of the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Ezekiel 34:1-15

A Prophecy against the Shepherds Ezekiel 34:1-15 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have a pleasant task before us. We have been asked to present Christ as the Good and Great and Chief Shepherd of the sheep, as over against the false shepherds. 1. Christ the Shepherd. This is the message of Psalms 23:1-6 . With it we are familiar: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." How delightfully the Psalm opens. Thank God that this is a personal matter. Each of us can say, my Shepherd. Next we have some... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:6

“My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the face of the earth and there was no one who searched for them and sought after them.” The scattered sheep, His people, now wandered without guidance. No one cared, no one sought them out to help them. They were left to wander aimlessly without proper assistance because those appointed to be their shepherds were failing them. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:7-8

“Therefore you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh. As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves and not the sheep.’ The verdict is now given beginning with the accusatory facts. The sheep had not had proper guidance, they had not had protection, and no one had sought them out when they went wrong, and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:1-10

Ezekiel 34:1-2 Samuel : . Importance of Good Government.— But besides moral excellence on the part of its citizens (Ezekiel 33) a state needs good government. This chapter is a very severe indictment of the rulers or kings of Israel in the past, who are compared to shepherds— and the figure is maintained throughout the chapter— that have neglected or abused the flock. Governors should govern in the interests of the governed; but those “ shepherds” had used their power to feed themselves and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 34:6

My sheep: these shepherds forgot the flock was not their property, but God will not lose his property in them, nor shall shepherds find at last they were more than God’s stewards, and accountable. Through all the mountains; when endangered, affrighted, pursued, they got upon the mountains by their own choice, or carried away by enemies; or it may refer to their wandering after idols worshipped in high places, or perhaps to kingdoms and states and great cities, compared to mountains, that there... read more
