14. I will shepherd them in a good pasture—their grazing place will be on the high mountains of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground. They will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15. I will tend My flock and make them lie down”—it is a declaration of Adonai.
16. “I will seek the lost, bring back the stray, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick. But the fat and the strong I will destroy—I will tend them with justice.
17. As for you, My flock”—thus says Adonai Elohim—“behold, I will judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and male goats.
18. Was it too little for you that you were feeding in the good pasture? Must you trample down the rest of your pastures with your feet? You were drinking clear water. Must you muddy the rest with your feet?
19. Yet My sheep must eat what you have trampled with your feet and drink what you have muddied with your feet!”
20. Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
21. Because you thrust with your side and with shoulder and gore all the weak with your horns, until you have scattered them all over,
22. I will save My flock. They will no longer be prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23. So I will set up One Shepherd over them, My servant David—He will tend them, He will feed them Himself and be their shepherd.
