Ezekiel 34:4
_ _ The diseased — rather, those weak from the effects of “disease,” as “strengthened” (that is, with due nourishment) requires [Grotius].
_ _ broken — that is, fractures from wounds inflicted by the wolf.
_ _ brought again ... driven away — (Exodus 23:4). Those “driven away” by the enemy into foreign lands through God’s judgments are meant (Jeremiah 23:3). A spiritual reformation of the state by the rulers would have turned away God’s wrath, and “brought again” the exiles. The rulers are censured as chiefly guilty (though the people, too, were guilty), because they, who ought to have been foremost in checking the evil, promoted it.
_ _ neither ... sought ... lost — Contrast the Good Shepherd’s love (Luke 15:4).
_ _ with force ... ruled — (Exodus 1:13, Exodus 1:14). With an Egyptian bondage. The very thing forbidden by the law they did (Leviticus 25:43; compare 1 Peter 5:3). |
Ezekiel 34:4
The diseased — The weak and languishing. Bound up — Oppressors in the state, or church, broke many then, but these shepherds bound them not up. |

The (c) diseased ye have not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
(c) He describes the office and duty of a good pastor who ought to love and comfort his flock and not be cruel toward them. |
