Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 34:31

"And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 34:31 (ASV)

The flock of my pasture.— The chapter closes with the strongest and tenderest assurance that the object of its figurative language is to point out the renewed and close communion that will come about between God and His people. They are to be His flock, and He is to be their God. Yet still, the vast and infinite distance between them is not overlooked but rather brought prominently forward—they are men; He is God. They were not yet prepared to understand how this infinite chasm could be bridged; only that it would be by their shepherd David. We know that He was the Mediator, both God and man, thus uniting both in one.
