Ezekiel 34:20-26 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

20. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now I will judge between the fat and the lean.

21. Because you push with flank and shoulder, and butt all the weak sheep with your horns until you drive them off,

22. I will save my flock so they can no longer be plundered; I will judge between one sheep and another.

23. I will appoint one shepherd over them to pasture them, my servant David; he shall pasture them and be their shepherd.

24. I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be prince in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.

25. I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the country of wild beasts so they will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.

26. I will settle them around my hill and send rain in its season, the blessing of abundant rain.
