Ezekiel 34 — Context

16

I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice.

17

As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.

18

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?

19

As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.

20

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

21

Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;

22

therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
