THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherd-leaders of Israel. Yes, prophesy! Tell those shepherds, ‘ God , the Master, says: Doom to you shepherds of Israel, feeding your own mouths! Aren't shepherds supposed to feed sheep? You drink the milk, you make clothes from the wool, you roast the lambs, but you don't feed the sheep. You don't build up the weak ones, don't heal the sick, don't doctor the injured, don't go after the strays, don't look for the lost. You bully and badger them. And now they're scattered every which way because there was no shepherd—scattered and easy pickings for wolves and coyotes. Scattered—my sheep!—exposed and vulnerable across mountains and hills. My sheep scattered all over the world, and no one out looking for them!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word of the Lord came unto me,.... The date of this prophecy is not given; however, it seems to have been delivered after the destruction of Jerusalem; the causes of which are mentioned, the sins of the people and their governors, which the prophet is directed to expose:

saying: as follows:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet has yet to pronounce a judgment upon unfaithful rulers, whose punishment will further the good of those whom they have misguided. He shows what the rulers should have been, what they have been, and what in the coming times they shall be when the True King shall reign in the true kingdom. Hence, follows a description of Messiah’s reign.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXIV

The prophet is commanded to declare the dreadful judgments of

God against the covetous shepherds of Israel, who feed

themselves, and not their flocks; by which emblem the priests

and Levites are intended, who in Ezekiel's time were very

corrupt, and the chief cause of Israel's apostasy and ruin,

1-10.

From this gloomy subject the prophet passes to the blessedness

of the true Israel of God under the reign of DAVID, the Great

Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ being named after

this prince by a figure exceedingly frequent in the sacred

oracles, of putting the type for the antitype, 11-31.
