Ezekiel 34:4 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

You haven't taken care of the weak or helped heal the sick. You didn't bandage up the injured or bring back the ones who wandered off. You never even looked for the lost ones. Instead, you ruled them harshly and treated them cruelly.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Real leadership means caring for people, not controlling them.

Zechariah 11:16

Listen up — I'm about to put a shepherd in charge of this land who couldn't care less about his flock. He won't check on the lost sheep, won't go looking for the young ones who wander off, won't bandage up the injured, and won't even feed the ones standing right there hungry. Instead, this guy's going to devour the healthy sheep and completely destroy them.
