Ezekiel 34
1. A reproof of the shepherds
7. God's judgment against them
11. His providence over his flock
20. The kingdom of Christ














I will establish
The phrase "I will establish" signifies a divine promise and action. In Hebrew, the root word is "קָם" (qam), which means to rise, stand, or set up. This indicates God's sovereign initiative and assurance to bring about a new reality for His people. It reflects God's faithfulness and His active role in fulfilling His promises, emphasizing His power to create and sustain.

for them
The phrase "for them" highlights the personal and communal aspect of God's promise. It underscores that God's actions are directed towards His people, Israel, whom He has chosen and set apart. This personal attention from God assures the Israelites of His care and commitment to their well-being.

a place renowned
"A place renowned" suggests a location of great fame and honor. The Hebrew word "שֵׁם" (shem) means name or reputation. This implies that the place God will establish will be known for its excellence and abundance. It reflects the transformation from a place of desolation to one of prosperity, showcasing God's ability to restore and bless.

for its crops
The phrase "for its crops" indicates agricultural abundance. In the ancient Near Eastern context, agriculture was central to survival and prosperity. The promise of fruitful crops symbolizes not only physical sustenance but also spiritual blessings. It reflects God's provision and the restoration of the land to its intended fruitfulness.

and they will no longer be victims of famine
This phrase promises an end to hunger and scarcity. Famine was a common threat in ancient times, often seen as a sign of divine displeasure. The assurance that they will "no longer be victims" signifies a reversal of past judgments and a new era of divine favor and provision. It highlights God's mercy and the fulfillment of His covenant promises.

in the land
The phrase "in the land" refers to the Promised Land, a central theme in the Hebrew Scriptures. It is the land given to Abraham and his descendants, symbolizing God's promise and faithfulness. The restoration of the land to a place of abundance reaffirms God's covenant and His intention to dwell among His people.

or bear the scorn of the nations
This phrase addresses the shame and humiliation Israel faced from surrounding nations. The Hebrew word "חֶרְפָּה" (cherpah) means reproach or disgrace. The promise that they will no longer "bear the scorn" signifies a restoration of honor and dignity. It reflects God's vindication of His people and His desire to elevate them as a testimony to His power and faithfulness.

(29) Will raise up for them a plant of renown.--Better, a plantation for renown. The same Hebrew word occurs in Ezekiel 17:7; Ezekiel 31:4, and means plantation. The thought is that God would provide Israel with such a fair and fruitful land as should make them famous for their blessings. The idea of the word is not that which seems to be implied by our version (with its marginal references to Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5), a plant or a branch, referring to the Messiah; a different word is used here, which occurs, besides the places named, only in Isaiah 60:21; Isaiah 61:3, and Micah 1:6, in all of which it is translated planting. . . . Verse 29. - A plant of renown. The words at first suggest the thought that Ezekiel was reproducing the ideal picture of the "branch," the "root," the "stem," the "plant." of Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5; Zechariah 6:12. Here, however, the word is collective, and is translated "plantation" in Ezekiel 17:7, "planting" in Micah 1:6; Isaiah 60:21; Isaiah 61:3. It can hardly be taken as speaking of more than the general fertility of the land. The rendering of the LXX., "a plant of peace," obviously implies a different reading (shalom instead of shem), and this Cornill has adopted in his text. So taken, the words naturally lead on to what follows - the promise that men should no more be consumed with hunger.
