The Pulpit Commentary on Ezekiel 34:31

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And ye my flock. The great utterance, we might call it the "ode of the shepherds," comes round to the point from which its second portion started (Ezekiel 34:11). All blessings were summed up in the thought that, behind every representative of the Father's care, the ideal David and his house, there was the eternal relationship between Jehovah and his people, even that of the Shepherd and his sheep. The LXX. omits the words "are men," and here also is followed by Cornill.
