Ezekiel 34:4 - Exposition

The diseased have ye not strengthened . The verbs indicate the difference between the "diseased," i.e. the weak sheep (comp. Isaiah 40:11 ; Psalms 78:71 ) and the sick, that were suffering from more definite maladies. So the broken are the sheep that have fallen from a rock and thus maimed themselves. Each case required its appropriate treatment, and none had met with it.
