Restoration of Judah from Babylon foretold in language which in its fulness can only apply to the final restoration of both "Judah" and "Israel" (compare Jeremiah 23:6); also "out of all countries," in this verse and Jeremiah 23:8; also, "neither shall they be lacking," that is, none shall be missing or detached from the rest: a prophecy never yet fully accomplished. It holds good also of the spiritual Israel, the elect of both Jews and Gentiles (Malachi 3:16-17; John 10:28; John 17:12). As to the literal Israel also, see Jeremiah 32:37; Isaiah 54:13; Isaiah 60:21; Ezekiel 34:11-16.
shepherds . . . shall feed them— (Jeremiah 3:15; Ezekiel 34:23-31). Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and the Maccabees were but typical of the consummating fulfilment of these prophecies under Messiah.
