This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pastors; either civil magistrates, which are sometimes so called, Mic_5:5; or rather ecclesiastical, as appears both from the reason of God’s judgments upon Israel, viz. their pastors being generally either thieves or dumb dogs; and also from the nature of their office, in the close of the verse, and thus they are called Eph_4:11.
According to mine heart; such as I will both choose for you and approve of, and that shall faithfully and skilfully declare unto you my mind; which intimates not only a single act of deliverance, but his constant preservation of them.
Which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding: this notes either the nature of their food: see Neh_8:8 Mal_2:7. Or rather the manner of their feeding: see Psa_78:72 1Pe_5:2. See more of this promise Jer_23:4.
