Ezekiel 34:20-24
New American Standard Bible
20 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says to them: “Behold, I, I Myself will also judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Since you push away with your side and shoulder, and (A)gore all the [a]weak with your horns until you have scattered them [b]abroad, 22 therefore, I will (B)save My flock, and they will no longer be plunder; and I will judge between one sheep and another.
23 “Then I will (C)appoint over them one (D)shepherd, My servant (E)David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd. 24 And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant (F)David will be prince among them; I the Lord have spoken.

Ezekiel 34:20-24
International Standard Version
20 “Therefore this is what the Lord God says to them: ‘Watch me! I’m going to judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep, 21 since you’ve been bumping aside all the weaker sheep with your backsides and shoulders, butting them with your horns until they’re scattered around outside. 22 That’s how I’ll save my sheep so they won’t be plundered any longer. I’m going to judge between one sheep and another.’”
God’s Shepherd: His Servant David
23 “‘Then I’ll install one shepherd for them—my servant David—and he will feed them, will be there for them, and will serve as their shepherd. 24 I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will rule among them as Prince.’ I, the Lord, have spoken this.
