Ezequiel 34:6

6 As minhas ovelhas andaram desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo alto outeiro; sim, as minhas ovelhas andaram espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem as procurasse, ou as buscasse.

Ezequiel 34:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 34:6

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every
high hill
As sheep do, when gone astray, go from mountain to hill; so the people of Israel fled from place to place, through the cruelty of their rulers, or through the force of the enemy, being carried captive into many kingdoms and nations, signified by mountains; and perhaps there is some allusion, to their worshipping of idols on hills and mountains, being drawn into it by the false prophets: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth;
so great and general was the dispersion by the several captivities: the Lord has sheep, or some of his elect, some that belong to his flock, in all parts of the world: and none did search or seek after them;
but he will himself, as in ( Ezekiel 34:11 ) , for he will lose none of them; but this does not excuse the shepherds.

Ezequiel 34:6 In-Context

4 A fraca não fortalecestes, a doente não curastes, a quebrada não ligastes, a desgarrada não tornastes a trazer, e a perdida não buscastes; mas dominais sobre elas com rigor e dureza.
5 Assim se espalharam, por não haver pastor; e tornaram-se pasto a todas as feras do campo, porquanto se espalharam.
6 As minhas ovelhas andaram desgarradas por todos os montes, e por todo alto outeiro; sim, as minhas ovelhas andaram espalhadas por toda a face da terra, sem haver quem as procurasse, ou as buscasse.
7 Portanto, ó pastores, ouvi a palavra do Senhor:
8 Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Deus, que porquanto as minhas ovelhas foram entregues � rapina, e as minhas ovelhas vieram a servir de pasto a todas as feras do campo, por falta de pastor, e os meus pastores não procuraram as minhas ovelhas, pois se apascentaram a si mesmos, e não apascentaram as minhas ovelhas;
