14. I will tend them with good pasture, and their grazing place will be on Israel’s lofty mountains. There they will lie down in a good grazing place; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15. I will tend My flock and let them lie down.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
16. “I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will shepherd them with justice.
17. “The Lord God says to you, My flock: I am going to judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and male goats.
18. Isn’t it enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Or isn’t it enough that you drink the clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?
19. Yet My flock has to feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied.
