Verse 10<\/span>. I will – cause them to cease from feeding the flock<\/B><\/I>] God, in this country, unpriested<\/I> a whole hierarchy who fed not the flock, but ruled them with force and cruelty<\/I>; and he raised up a new set of shepherds better qualified, both by sound doctrine and learning, to feed the flock. Let these be faithful, lest God cause them to cease<\/I>, and raise up other feeders.<\/P> <\/p>\n I am against; <\/B>they have provoked me to displeasure to be their enemy, and I will appear and act so. They are enemies to my sheep, yet pretended to be shepherds, I will be an open enemy to them. <\/P> The shepherds; <\/B>to Zedekiah, his princes, the priests, and prophets, all the ruling part in Jerusalem. <\/P> I will require my flock; <\/B>I will require both account first, and next by severe punishing, as Zedekiah, his children, &c, found. Cause them to cease from feeding the flock; turn them out of my service, that honorable employment; so was the king and princes of Judah turned out of all by the king of Babylon, by whom God made good this his word. Feed themselves any more; their profit ceased with the ceasing of their authority, and they could no more milk, fleece, or slay the flock, when it was taken out of their hand. <\/P> I will deliver my flock; <\/B>they should have delivered them out of the hands of violence; since they did not, I will deliver, save, and rescue this flock which is mine. <\/P> From their mouth:<\/B> this speaks that those shepherds had been lions, or bears, or wolves, more than shepherds, and therefore out of their mouths, not hands, God will deliver. <\/P> That they may not be meat for them; <\/B>so the flock shall no more be devoured by them. <\/P> <\/p>\n 10. I will require my flock<\/B>(Heb 13:17<\/span>), rather, “Irequire,” &c., for God already had begun to do so, punishingZedekiah and the other princes severely (Jer52:10<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n Thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against the shepherds<\/strong>,…. His heart was against them; his hand was against them; his face was against them, to cut them off. The Targum is,<\/p>\n “behold, I will send my fury upon the governors;”<\/p>\n and there was good reason for it, they were against him and his glory, against his flock, his people, his cause, and interest; sad it is for any to have God against them, and to be against God; for none ever hardened themselves against him and prospered, Job 9:4<\/span>:<\/p>\n and I will require my flock at their hand<\/strong>; the full tale of them that have been committed to their care, and will punish them for the neglect of them; their blood, their life, and the loss of them, I will require at their hands; thus he punished Zedekiah and his princes, and the priests and prophets:<\/p>\n and cause them to cease from feeding the flock<\/strong>; take the kingdom from them, as he did from Zedekiah; abolish the ecclesiastical hierarchy among the Jews; cut off three shepherds in one month, the priests, prophets, and scribes of the people; and put the flock into other hands, the apostles and ministers of the Gospel:<\/p>\n neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more<\/strong>; enrich themselves with the substance of the people:<\/p>\n for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them<\/strong>; who, instead of being shepherds to feed the flock, were no other than wolves in sheep’s clothing, and ravenous lions and bears, which devoured the flock; but this they should do no longer.<\/p>\n Eze 34:10<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>And cause them to cease<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> And will discharge them.<\/em> <\/p>\n Eze 34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.<\/p>\n Ver. 10. Behold, I am against the shepherds.<\/strong> ] Heb., Lo, I against, – by an angry aposiopesis.<\/em> a<\/em> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And cause them to cease from feeding the flock.<\/strong> ] They shall be officiperdae, quondams,<\/em> laid aside like broken vessels, as have been some kings of this land in their several generations – one of recent remembrance – Popish bishops not a few, Bonner and others, outed and deprived. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> A rhetorical artifice, in which the speaker comes to a sudden halt, as if unable or unwilling to proceed.<\/p>\n Behold. Figure of speech Asterismos. App-6. <\/p>\n I am: Eze 5:8, Eze 13:8, Eze 21:3, Eze 35:3, Jer 21:13, Jer 50:31, Nah 2:13, Zec 10:3, 1Pe 3:12 <\/p>\n and I will: Eze 3:18, Eze 3:20, Eze 33:6-8, Jer 13:18-20, Heb 13:17 <\/p>\n and cause: 1Sa 2:29-36, Jer 39:6, Jer 52:9-11, Jer 52:24-27 <\/p>\n neither shall: Eze 34:2, Eze 34:8 <\/p>\n for I will: Eze 34:22, Psa 23:5, Psa 72:12-14, Psa 102:19, Psa 102:20 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jer 46:27 – I will save Eze 13:23 – for I Eze 14:11 – the house Eze 34:20 – Behold Eze 34:27 – when I Zec 11:5 – possessors Zec 11:16 – but<\/p>\n Eze 34:10. I am against the shepherds denotes the Lord’s disfavor for the conduct of the shepherds, not that He is to he regarded as their personal enemy. Require my flock at their hand means they will be held responsible for the sad state of the flock because of their part in causing the situation. Cease from feeding the flock refers in the first place to the removal of those shepherds from the position of Importance that they have been occupying, In the second place, the Lord is approaching a prediction that will reach far beyond the days of these shepherds over fleshly Israel, Such a subject will be introduced in the latter half of this chapter. We have observed it to be a practice of God through the inspired prophets to pass directly from ancient to modern Israel. That is due partly to the fact that many of the experiences, both favorable and unfavorable, of both Israels are similar. A favorable experience of fleshly Israel will be predicted first and then we shall read of a most wonderful favor that will concern spiritual Israel.<\/p>\n Eze 34:10. Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I am against the shepherds They have made me their enemy by their negligence and abuse of their power, and I will appear and act as such. They have been enemies to my sheep, though pretending to be their shepherds; I will be an open enemy to them; and will require my flock at their hands I will require a severe account from their kings and princes, their priests and prophets, of the damage my people have sustained through their ill management; and I will deprive them of the honour, pre-eminence, and advantage of which they have made such an ill use. <\/p>\n 34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from {e} their mouth, that they may not be food for them.<\/p>\n (e) By destroying the covetous hirelings and restoring true shepherds of which we have a sign so often as God sends true preachers, who both by doctrine and life labour to feed his sheep in the pleasant pastures of his word.<\/p>\n Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
