\\INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 34\\
In the former chapter the prophet prophesies against the people of the Jews, both those of the captivity, and those who were not; and here against the shepherds of Israel. This he is bid to do, \\#Eze 34:1,2\\, whose cruelty to the flock, negligence and unfaithfulness are exposed, \\#Eze 34:3-6\\, for which reasons they are threatened to be deprived of their office, \\#Eze 34:7-10\\, and the Lord promises to take the care of the flock upon himself, to seek out his sheep, and feed them, and do every kind office to them, \\#Eze 34:11-16\\ and then the strong of the flock, that oppressed the weak, are threatened with punishment, \\#Eze 34:17-22\\ and the promise of the Messiah, as the shepherd of the flock, is made, under whom all prosperity and happiness might be expected, \\#Eze 34:23-31\\.
