Ezekiel Chapter 34
Overview
Eze 34:1, A reproof of the shepherds; Eze 34:7, God's judgment against them; Eze 34:11, His providence over his flock; Eze 34:20, The kingdom of Christ.
the shepherds: The shepherds of Israel, signify their kings and princes, priests and prophets; the flock, the whole of the people; the fat and wool, the tithes and offerings, taxes and imposts: these they exacted with great rigour, and even oppressed and destroyed the people to enrich themselves; but they bestowed no pains to provide for the welfare of the state, or for the souls of those entrusted to them. They knew nothing about their flock. it might be diseased, infirm, bruised, maimed, strayed, or lost, for they watched not over them.

my servant: David king of Israel had been dead upwards of 400 years; and from that time till now there never has been a ruler of any kind in the Jewish nation of the name of David. By David, then, we must understand the Messiah, as the Jews themselves acknowledge, so called because descended from him, and also as being the well beloved, ο αγαπητος, Son of the Father, as the name imports, and in whom all the promises made to David were fulfilled.
