Ezekiel 34:3
_ _ fat — or, by differently pointing the Hebrew, “milk” [Septuagint]. Thus the repetition “fat” and “fed” is avoided: also the eating of “fat” would not probably be put before the “killing” of the sheep. The eating of sheep’s or goats’ milk as food (Deuteronomy 32:14; Proverbs 27:27) was unobjectionable, had not these shepherds milked them too often, and that without duly “feeding” them [Bochart], (Isaiah 56:11). The rulers levied exorbitant tributes.
_ _ kill ... fed — kill the rich by false accusation so as to get possession of their property.
_ _ feed not ... flock — take no care of the people (John 10:12). |
Ezekiel 34:3
Ye kill — You contrive methods, to take first the life, and next the estate of the well — fed, the rich and wealthy. But — You take care to lead, protect, provide for, and watch over them. |
Ezekiel 34:3
Ye eat the (b) fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.
(b) You seek to enrich yourselves by their conveniences and to spoil their riches and substance. |

Come ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
Zechariah 11:5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
Zechariah 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [which] shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
