Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 34:6

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.
