Scripture focus

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

Commentary on Ezekiel 34:16

Theological / Devotional

Destroy the fat. Fatness was a symbol of prosperity. Prosperity often leads to forgetfulness of God (Deut. 32:15). The unfaithful shepherds had waxed fat by robbing the flock. They had fed themselves instead of the flock. Now they are to be fed “with judgment.”
