“And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. because: or, without a shepherd”
Ezekiel 34:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 34:5
"And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered." Absence of faithful shepherds leaves sheep vulnerable to predators. The imagery depicts both physical danger and spiritual corruption. Without godly leadership, people fall prey to false teaching, immorality, and exploitation. This emphasizes pastoral responsibility: shepherds must actively protect, guide, and feed the flock. Christ as the Good Shepherd provides what human shepherds fail to give—perfect protection, complete provision, eternal security.
