Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 34:11

"For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out." — Ezekiel 34:11 (ASV)

For thus says the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

Here is a divine One come to seek and to save. The shepherds had neglected and scattered the flock. Now God takes it out of their hands, and He says, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

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

The shepherds did not do this; they left the sheep to wander, and they were lost upon the mountains; but where men fail, God proves himself all-sufficient. My hearer, are you sitting under an unprofitable ministry? Then look to the Chief Shepherd, and not to the man who is unfaithful as an under-shepherd.
