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.

17 “‘And you, my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am judging between one sheep and another,[a] between the rams and between the he-goats. 18 Is it not enough for you[b] that you feed on the good pasture? And still you must trample the remainder of your pasture with your feet, and clear water[c] you drink, and the leftover water[d] you must make muddy with your feet. 19 And my flock must graze the pasture treaded upon by[e] your feet, and must drink the mud puddle stirred up by[f] your feet.”
