Jérémie 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.

Jérémie 23:1 In-Context

1 Malheur aux bergers qui détruisent et dispersent le troupeau de mon pâturage! dit l'Éternel.
2 C'est pourquoi ainsi a dit l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël, touchant les bergers qui paissent mon peuple: Vous avez dispersé mes brebis; vous les avez chassées et ne les avez pas visitées. Voici, je vais punir sur vous la malice de vos actions, dit l'Éternel.
3 Je rassemblerai le reste de mes brebis, de tous les pays où je les aurai chassées, et je les ramènerai à leurs pâturages, et elles seront fécondes et multiplieront.
4 J'établirai sur elles des pasteurs qui les paîtront; elles n'auront plus de crainte ni d'épouvante, et il n'en manquera aucune, dit l'Éternel
5 Voici, les jours viennent, dit l'Éternel, où je susciterai à David un germe juste. Il régnera en roi; il prospérera, et il exercera le droit et la justice sur la terre.
