Joe: Alright, so what can you tell me about Ezekiel 34?

Bible Expert: Sure, so Ezekiel 34 is a prophecy from God to Ezekiel about the future of Israel and its leaders. In the chapter, God is angry at the leaders of Israel for not taking care of their people. He proclaims that he will take matters into his own hands and be their shepherd. He will rescue them from captivity and bring them back to their land.

Joe: Whoa, that's intense. Hold on, let me check this out. Jamie, can you Google this and make sure it's true?

Jamie: Yep, got it!

Joe: Alright, so God is going to shepherd the people and bring them back home?

Bible Expert: Exactly. God promises to take care of the people of Israel, protect them from harm and provide for them, just like a good shepherd would do for his flock. He also promises to judge the leaders who have failed to care for their people and punish them for their wickedness.

Joe: Wow, that is really powerful stuff. So what else happens in the chapter?

Bible Expert: God also promises to restore Israel and make them a great nation again. He will bring back the scattered people of Israel and reunite them as one nation. He will give them a new heart and spirit, and will dwell among them forever. And finally, he promises that he will be their God and they will be his people.
