Ezekiel 34:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 34:22

20 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: ^a“Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.

21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad,

22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

23 I will establish one ^ashepherd over them, and he shall feed them—^bMy servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

24 And ^aI, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David ^ba prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

25 ^a“I will make a covenant of peace with them, and ^bcause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they ^cwill dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

26 I will make them and the places all around ^aMy hill ^ba blessing; and I will ^ccause showers to come down in their season; there shall be ^dshowers of blessing.

27 Then ^athe trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have ^bbroken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who ^censlaved them.

28 And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but ^athey shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid.

29 I will raise up for them a ^agarden of renown, and they shall ^bno longer be consumed with hunger in the land, ^cnor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore.

30 Thus they shall know that ^aI, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are ^bMy people,” says the Lord God.’

31 “You are My ^aflock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.
