SCRIPTURE

"therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:" — Ezekiel 34:9 (ASV)

Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord .
] This is repeated, that it might be observed, and for the confirmation of it; it might be depended upon that what follows would be accomplished, unless they changed their conduct and behaviour; and, to leave them inexcusable, they are again called upon to hear what the Lord should say unto them. The Targum is, "therefore, O you wicked governors, return to the law, and I will have mercy on you; hearken to the doctrine of the law, and receive the word of the Lord."
