Ezekiel 34:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I, even I: the construction is emphatical in the Hebrew and well expressed here; I, the Owner, the Lover, the Maker, the great Shepherd, even I, who committed them to your care, never submitted them to your rapine and cruelty, am as angry with you for devouring them as I am zealous for their welfare. Search; will demand the them of you. I know how many I delivered to your keeping and I expect an account of so many again; I will see in what state and condition they are too. Seek them out: see Ezekiel 34:5,6: under your hand many are, but under my hand not one shall be lost.

Ezekiel 34:11

11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
