Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 34:7-16

Upon reading the foregoing articles of impeachment drawn up, in God's name, against the shepherds of Israel, we cannot but look upon the shepherds with a just indignation, and upon the flock with a tender compassion. God, by the prophet, here expresses both in a high degree; and the shepherds are called upon (Ezek. 34:7, 9) to hear the word of the Lord, to hear this word. Let them hear how little he regards them, who made much of themselves, and how much he regards the flock, which they made... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:7

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord. Or, "ye governors", as the Targum, both civil and ecclesiastical; ye kings, princes, and magistrates; ye prophets and teachers of the people, who ought to have attended to the word of grace, to the doctrines of the Scriptures, and fed the people with them; but, since you have not, hear the word of threatening from the Lord, and the just punishment that shall be inflicted on you. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:8

As I live, saith the Lord ,.... It is an oath, and which he swore in his wrath, being provoked with the shepherds for their misadministration: surely, because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd ; a prey to all the kingdoms of the people, being without a governor, as the Targum; or to false teachers, there being no spiritual pastors to take care of them: neither did my shepherds search for my flock ; that was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:9

Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord. This is repeated, that it might be observed, and for the confirmation of it; it might be depended upon that what follows would be accomplished, unless they changed their conduct and behaviour; and, to leave them inexcusable, they are again called upon to hear what the Lord should say unto them. The Targum is, "therefore, O ye wicked governors, return to the law, and I will have mercy on you; hearken to the doctrine of the law, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:10

Thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against the shepherds ,.... His heart was against them; his hand was against them; his face was against them, to cut them off. The Targum is, "behold, I will send my fury upon the governors;' and there was good reason for it, they were against him and his glory, against his flock, his people, his cause, and interest; sad it is for any to have God against them, and to be against God; for none ever hardened themselves against him and prospered, Job... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:11

For thus saith the Lord God ,.... Since the shepherds are so negligent, careless, and cruel: behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out ; as he did the Jews, in all countries where they were, so his elect in all places where they are: he is the omniscient God, and knows them that are his, and can call his own sheep by name; he knows the places where they are; for he has fixed the bounds of their habitation, and was delighting himself in the habitable parts of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:12

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered ,.... That is, when they have been scattered, and are got together again; then he goes among them, to see if there are any missing, and in wheat condition they are, and what they want: so will I seek out my sheep, and deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day ; such as, in a literal sense, the time of the captivity was, when the Jews were dispersed... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:7

Therefore, ye shepherds, (ye bad and wicked shepherds), hear the word of the Lord - In the preceding character of the good shepherd the reader will find, by reversing the particulars, the character of a bad shepherd; and therefore I may be excused from entering into farther detail. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:10

I will - cause them to cease from feeding the flock - God, in this country, unpriested a whole hierarchy who fed not the flock, but ruled them with force and cruelty; and he raised up a new set of shepherds better qualified, both by sound doctrine and learning, to feed the flock. Let these be faithful, lest God cause them to cease, and raise up other feeders. read more
