Ezekiel34:5
5 And they were scattered , because there is no shepherd : and they became meat to all the beasts of the field when they were scattered .
My neglected Sheep.
By the inroads, and invasions of their Enemies, that broke in like devouring Beasts.
No vigilant, faithful good shepherd that loved the Flock, and of love studied its welfare.
Were made a prey of, and devoured by Syrians, Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites, &c. all their Neighbours might then devour them.
Signifie men, troops of Robbers, and spoilers.
As sheep scattered are easily devoured by every hungry Wolf or Fox.
Marginal references: Or, without a shepherd, so v. 8.
