This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Restoration of Judah from Babylon foretold in language which in its fullness can only apply to the final restoration of both “Judah” and “Israel” (compare Jer 23:6); also “out of all countries,” in this verse and Jer 23:8; also, “neither shall they be lacking,” that is, none shall be missing or detached from the rest: a prophecy never yet fully accomplished. It holds good also of the spiritual Israel, the elect of both Jews and Gentiles (Mal 3:16, Mal 3:17; Joh 10:28; Joh 17:12). As to the literal Israel also, see Jer 32:37; Isa 54:13; Isa 60:21; Eze 34:11-16.
shepherds ... shall feed them - (Jer 3:15; Eze 34:23-31). Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and the Maccabees were but typical of the consummating fulfillment of these prophecies under Messiah.
