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.
24. And I the Lord will be their God, and my slave David prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.
25. And I will establish with them a covenant of peace and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
26. And I will give unto them and to the places round about my hill blessing, and I will cause the rain to come down in its season; they shall be rains of blessing.
27. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her fruit, and they shall be safe in their land and shall know that I am the Lord when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
