Ezekiel34:7-8
Ver. 7. Therefore ye ſhepherds hear the Word of the Lord] And oh that this Word might ever ſound aloud in the eares of all ſhepherds, as the voyce of heavens trumpet!
Hyperbaton aetiolog cumVer. 8. As I live ſaith the Lord, ſurely becauſe] God here ſeemeth to be in a great heat, in a perturbation of ſpirit, cauſing a kind of impediment in his ſpeech: ſo throughly was he moved againſt theſe leud ſhepherds, whoſe faults he rippeth up again to make better way to their ſentence.
Becauſe my flock became a prey] To the Chaldees, but eſpecially to that old manſlayer.
Becauſe there was no ſhepherd] None but a company of Nominals, or rather Nullities.
