They ate well, were well-clothed and well-cared for by the very people they had been placed over (Ezekiel 34:1-3). By contrast, Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep and who protects them from the wolves who would destroy the flock (John 10:11-12).
Walikula vizuri, wakavalishwa vizuri na kutunzwa vizuri na wale watu ambao waliwekwa juu yao(Ezekieli 34: 1-3). Kwa upande mwingine, Yesu ni mchungaji mwema ambaye huutoa uhai wake kwa ajili ya kondoo na ambaye huwalinda kutokana na mbwa mwitu ambao huenda wakaharibu kundi la kondoo wake(Yohana 10: 11-12). Mstari wa 4 wa sura ya 34 unaeleza kuhusu watu ambao wachungaji walishindwa kuhudumia kama wanyonge, wagonjwa, wenye majeraha na waliopotea.
