17. And as for you, O my flock, thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he goats.
18. Does it seem a small thing unto you that ye eat of the good pastures, but ye also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and that in drinking of the deep waters, ye must also foul the residue with your feet?
19. And my sheep eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
20. Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and between the lean sheep,
21. because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder and pushed all the weak with your horns until ye have scattered them outside.
22. I will save my flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23. And I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my slave David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
