📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet and priest among the Jewish exiles in Babylon around the 6th century BC, during the time of Judah's captivity as a result of their unfaithfulness to God. In Ezekiel 34:1, this verse serves as an introduction to a divine oracle where God speaks through the prophet to address the failures of Israel's leaders, setting the stage for a broader critique of spiritual negligence. This reflects the historical backdrop of exile, where the people of Israel were suffering the consequences of their leaders' corruption and God's impending judgment.
