Ezekiel 34:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 34:7

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord.
] Or, "ye governors", as the Targum, both civil and ecclesiastical; ye kings, princes, and magistrates; ye prophets and teachers of the people, who ought to have attended to the word of grace, to the doctrines of the Scriptures, and fed the people with them; but, since you have not, hear the word of threatening from the Lord, and the just punishment that shall be inflicted on you.
