Ezekiel 34:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 34:22

Therefore will I save my flock
Or redeem my people, as the Targum; that is, by his son, after described, as his shepherd and servant: and they shall no more be a prey:
to Satan the roaring lion; nor to such horned cattle, their persecutors; nor to false teachers, who lie in wait to deceive; nor shall they ever perish, being the sheep of Christ, hand, and under the care of him the shepherd, spoken of in the next verse: and I will judge between cattle and cattle;
between man and man, as the Targum; that is, between good and bad men, the persecutors and the persecuted. (See Gill on Ezekiel 34:17). (See Gill on Ezekiel 34:20).

Ezekiel 34:22 In-Context

20 " 'Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: "Look! I, even I will judge between fat sheep and between lean sheep,

21 because with [your] flank and with [your] shoulder you shoved, and with your horns you pushed all of the sick [animals] {until} you scattered it to the outside.

22 And [so] I will save my flock, and {they will no longer be} for plunder, and I will judge between {one sheep and another}.

23 And I will set up over them one shepherd, and he will feed them; [that is], my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be for them as a shepherd.

24 And I, Yahweh, I will be for them {as God}, and my servant David [will be] a leader in the midst of them. I, Yahweh, I have spoken.
