What does Ezekiel 34:1 mean?
Adam Clarke's Commentary
Introduction
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, Eze 34:1-10. 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, vv. 11-31.Adam Clarke, 1831 · public domain
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Ezekiel 34:1-6
The rulers reproved. (Ezek 34:1-6) The people are to be restored to their own land. (Ezek 34:7-16) The kingdom of Christ. (Ezek 34:17-31) Verses 1-6 The people became as sheep without a shepherd, were given up as a prey to their enemies, and the land was utterly desolated. No rank or office can exempt from the reproofs of God's word, men who neglect their duty, and abuse the trust reposed in them.
