And I will judge between sheep and sheep. 23 And (D)I will set up over them one shepherd, (E)my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24 And (F)I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them.

20 “‘Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: “Look! I, even I will judge between fat sheep and between lean sheep, 21 because with your flank and with your shoulder you shoved, and with your horns you pushed all of the sick animals until[a] you scattered it[b] to the outside. 22 And so I will save my flock, and they will no longer be[c] for plunder, and I will judge between one sheep and another.[d] 23 And I will set up over them one shepherd, and he will feed them; that is, my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be for them as[e] a shepherd. 24 And I, Yahweh, I will be for them as God,[f] and my servant David will be a leader in the midst of them. I, Yahweh, I have spoken.
