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.
