Ezekiel 34:15-16

Ezekiel 34:15-16

[15] I will feed  my flock,  and I will cause them to lie down,  saith  the Lord  GOD.  [16] I will seek  that which was lost,  and bring again  that which was driven away,  and will bind up  that which was broken,  and will strengthen  that which was sick:  but I will destroy  the fat  and the strong;  I will feed  them with judgment. 

What does Ezekiel 34:15-16 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

God Himself would feed His flock and lead the sheep to rest (cf. Ezekiel 34:3). He would seek the lost, return the scattered, heal the broken, and strengthen the sick (cf. Ezekiel 34:4; Ezekiel 34:6; Isaiah 61:1-2; Micah 2:12; Micah 4:6-8; Luke 4:16-21). He would also destroy the fat, strong shepherds who had failed Him by feeding these leaders judgment.
