This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In contrast to the unfaithful shepherds (Eze 34:4). The several duties neglected by them I will faithfully discharge.
fat ... strong - that is, those rendered wanton by prosperity (Deu 32:15; Jer 5:28), who use their strength to oppress the weak. Compare Eze 34:20, “the fat cattle” (Isa 10:16). The image is from fat cattle that wax refractory.
with judgment - that is, justice and equity, as contrasted with the “force” and “cruelty” with which the unfaithful shepherds ruled the flock (Eze 34:4).
