Ezekiel 33:11

Context
33:11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior 1  and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds! 2  Why should you die, O house of Israel?’

Ezekiel 34:2

Context
34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds 3  of Israel; prophesy, and say to them – to the shepherds: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not shepherds feed the flock?

1 tn Heb “turn from his way.”

2 tn Heb “ways.” This same word is translated “behavior” earlier in the verse.

3 tn The term shepherd is applied to kings in the ancient Near East. In the OT the Lord is often addressed as shepherd of Israel (Gen 49:24; Ps 8:1). The imagery of shepherds as Israel’s leaders is also employed (Jer 23:1-2).
