Ezechiel 34:18-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

18. Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the dearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.

19. And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.

20. Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.

21. Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:

22. I will save my dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

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.

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.
