Ezechiel — Chapter 34
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 3
He that hath spiritual charge of his flock, & seeketh his owne temporal profite, not the spiritual good of his flock, is indeed no Pastour, but a hireling; or if he also teach false doctrine, he is a woolfe.
Verse 12
Not only Christ himselfe but also others shal doe the right Offices of true Pastours in the new Testament, as S. Paul teacheth Ephe. 4. that God giueth Apostles, Prophets, Euangelists, Pastours & doctors, to the consummation of Saints, til we meete al in the vnitie of faith.
Verse 19
No Iew is so obstinate, nor heretike so blind, but al confesse that the Messias Christ, is here called by the name of Dauid. For King Dauid was now dead long before this Prophet liued. See also ch. 37. v. 24. 25.
