Ezekiel 34:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ “I will seek the lost,^(A) bring back the strays, bandage the injured,^(B) and strengthen the weak, but I will destroy^[a] 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.^{(C) 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?
