Ezequiel 34:8

8 Tan cierto como que yo vivo —afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente—, que por falta de pastor mis ovejas han sido objeto del pillaje y han estado a merced de las fieras salvajes. Mis pastores no se ocupan de mis ovejas; cuidan de sí mismos pero no de mis ovejas.

Ezequiel 34:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 34:8

As I live, saith the Lord
It is an oath, and which he swore in his wrath, being provoked with the shepherds for their misadministration: surely, because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to
every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd;
a prey to all the kingdoms of the people, being without a governor, as the Targum; or to false teachers, there being no spiritual pastors to take care of them: neither did my shepherds search for my flock;
that was scattered, and carried captive, and became a prey to others; even those that were of God's appointing, as the kings of Israel, their priests and prophets; for both their civil polity and ecclesiastical hierarchy were of God, though the ends thereof were not answered, or the persons put into office did not do their duty: but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock:
(See Gill on Ezekiel 34:2), (See Gill on Ezekiel 34:3).

Ezequiel 34:8 In-Context

6 Mis ovejas andan descarriadas por montes y colinas, dispersas por toda la tierra, sin que nadie se preocupe por buscarlas.

7 »”Por tanto, pastores, escuchen bien la palabra del SEÑOR:

8 Tan cierto como que yo vivo —afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente—, que por falta de pastor mis ovejas han sido objeto del pillaje y han estado a merced de las fieras salvajes. Mis pastores no se ocupan de mis ovejas; cuidan de sí mismos pero no de mis ovejas.

9 Por tanto, pastores, escuchen la palabra del SEÑOR.

10 Así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: Yo estoy en contra de mis pastores. Les pediré cuentas de mi rebaño; les quitaré la responsabilidad de apacentar a mis ovejas, y no se apacentarán más a sí mismos. Arrebataré de sus fauces a mis ovejas, para que no les sirvan de alimento.
