The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 31: Ezechiel: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Ezekiel
34:22. I will save my flock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will
judge between cattle and cattle.
34:23. And I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them,
even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their
shepherd.
David... Christ, who is of the house of David.
34:24. And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince
in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.
34:25. And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the
evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the
wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.
34:26. And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will
send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.
34:27. And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth
shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear:
and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the
bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of
those that rule over them.
34:28. And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither
shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely
without, any terror.
34:29. And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be
no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any
more the reproach of the Gentiles.
A bud of renown... Germen nominatum. He speaks of Christ our Lord, the
illustrious bud of the house of David, renowned over all the earth. See
Jer. 33.15.
34:30. And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and
that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.
34:31. And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the
Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
Ezechiel Chapter 35
The judgment of mount Seir, for their hatred of Israel.
35:1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
35:2. Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy
concerning it, and say to it:
35:3. Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir,
and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee
desolate and waste.
35:4. I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou
shalt know that I am the Lord.
35:5. Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the
children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their
affliction, in the time of their last iniquity.
35:6. Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to
blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood,
blood shall pursue thee.
35:7. And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take
away from it him that goeth and him that returneth.
35:8. And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy
hills, and in thy valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are
slain with the sword.
