Ezekiel 34:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 34:2

Irresponsible Shepherds

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: ^a“Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

3 ^aYou eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you ^bslaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock.

4 ^aThe weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor ^bsought what was lost; but with ^cforce and cruelty you have ruled them.

5 ^aSo they were ^bscattered because there was no shepherd; ^cand they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.

6 My sheep ^awandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.”

7 ‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:

8 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock ^abecame food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, ^bbut the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock”—
