Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says to them: "Behold, I, I Myself will also judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

"Since you push away with your side and shoulder, and gore all the weak with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,

Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

therefore, I will save My flock, and they will no longer be plunder; and I will judge between one sheep and another.

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

"Then I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd.

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

"And I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be prince among them; I the LORD have spoken.

And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.
