3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock.
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep.
3 You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock.
3 You drink the milk, wear the wool, and butcher the best animals, but you let your flocks starve.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 34:3
Commentary on Ezekiel 34:1-6
(Read Ezekiel 34:1-6)
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.
