Jeremías 23:1 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:1

Woe be unto the pastors
Or, "O ye shepherds" or "governors", as the Targum; the civil rulers and magistrates, kings and princes of the land of Israel; since ecclesiastical rulers, the priests and prophets, are mentioned as distinct from them in ( Jeremiah 23:9 ) ; whose business it was to rule and guide, protect and defend, the people: but, instead of that, they were such that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord God;
set them bad examples, led them into idolatry and other sins, which were the cause of their ruin, and of their being carried captive, and scattered in other countries; and their sin was the more aggravated, inasmuch as these people were the Lord's pasture sheep, whom he had an interest in, and a regard unto, and had committed them to the care and charge of these pastors or governors, to be particularly taken care of.

Jeremías 23:1 In-Context

1 «¡Ay de los pastores que destruyen y dispersan el rebaño de mis praderas!», afirma el SEÑOR.
2 Por eso, así dice el SEÑOR, el Dios de Israel, a los pastores que apacientan a mi pueblo: «Ustedes han dispersado a mis ovejas; las han expulsado y no se han encargado de ellas. Pues bien, yo me encargaré de castigarlos a ustedes por sus malas acciones —afirma el SEÑOR—.
3 Al resto de mis ovejas yo mismo las reuniré de todos los países adonde las expulsé; y las haré volver a sus pastos, donde crecerán y se multiplicarán.
4 Pondré sobre ellas pastores que las pastorearán, y ya no temerán ni se espantarán, ni faltará ninguna de ellas —afirma el SEÑOR—.
5 »Vienen días —afirma el SEÑOR—,en que de la simiente de Davidharé surgir un vástago justo;él reinará con sabiduría en el país,y practicará el derecho y la justicia.
