¹⁷ ‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: ^(A)“Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.

^32 (A)All the nations will be gathered before Him, and ^(B)He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. ³³ And He will set the ^(C)sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

²⁰ ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: ^(A)“Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. ²¹ Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, ²² therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

³⁷ “I will make you ^(A)pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the ^(B)covenant; ^38 (C)I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but ^(D)they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
