Ezekiel 34 — Context

18

Does it seem a small thing to you to have taken your food on good grass-land while the rest of your grass-land is stamped down under your feet? and that after drinking from clear waters you make the rest of the waters dirty with your feet?

19

And as for my sheep, their food is the grass which has been stamped on by your feet, and their drink the water which has been made dirty by your feet.

20

For this reason the Lord has said to them, Truly, I, even I, will be judge between the fat sheep and the thin sheep.

21

Because you have been pushing with side and leg, pushing the diseased with your horns till they were sent away in every direction;

22

I will make my flock safe, and they will no longer be taken away, and I will be judge between sheep and sheep.

23

And I will put over them one keeper, and he will give them food, even my servant David; he will give them food and be their keeper.

24

And I the Lord will be their God and my servant David their ruler; I the Lord have said it.
