God’s Message to His Sheep

17 “Now as for you, my flock, this is what the Lord God says: ‘Watch out! I’m going to judge between one sheep and another, and between the rams and the goats. 18 Is it such an insignificant thing to you that you’re feeding in good pastures but trampling down the other pastures with your feet? Or that as you’re drinking from the clear streams you’re muddying the rest with your feet? 19 My flock is grazing on what you’ve been treading down with your feet and they’re drinking what you’ve been making muddy with your feet!’

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.”
