16

"I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment.

17

"As for you, My flock, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the male goats.

18

'Is it too slight a thing for you that you should feed in the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures? Or that you should drink of the clear waters, that you must foul the rest with your feet?

19

'As for My flock, they must eat what you tread down with your feet and drink what you foul with your feet!'"

20

Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD to them, "Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

21

"Because you push with side and with shoulder, and thrust at all the weak with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,

22

therefore, I will deliver My flock, and they will no longer be a prey; and I will judge between one sheep and another.
