Ezekiel 34:30-31 ESV

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 34:1-31

Ezekiel 34:2 . Woe to the shepherds of Israel. The character of the pastors which follow, distinguishes the industrious from the idle shepherds: the words apply to magistrates and ministers.

From Eusebius. See on Isaiah 56:11. Ezekiel 34:12 . As... read more

Ezekiel 34:27-31Shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke.The yoke removed and the Lord revealedBut do not all men know that God is the Lord? They should know it, for He is clearly to be seen in the works of nature. But man by wisdom knows not God. But do not all know God in this land--this land where there is so much Gospel teaching?

They were a people closely connected with each other. They belonged to the same house, or family. As the descendants from the same progenitor, they were, in a peculiar sense, brethren. The same is the case, though in a different sense, with those to whom the promises in the text are now made, in regard to their spiritual... read more

Ezekiel 34:31And ye My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, and I am your God.Man’s destinyEvery breath of the autumnal wind brings down hundreds of faded leaves: they lie thick under the fast baring trees in thousands. Perfect in form, wonderful in construction, beautiful in hue, they are crushed down in myriads under every passing foot of man or beast. And what is the fall of one leaf among so many?
