Ezekiel 34:17-23
English Standard Version
17 “As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord God: (A)Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and (B)male goats. 18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of (C)clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet? 19 And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
20 “Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you push with side and shoulder, and (D)thrust at all the (E)weak with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad, 22 I will rescue[a] my flock; (F)they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep. 23 And (G)I will set up over them one shepherd, (H)my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd.

1 Peter 5:1-5
English Standard Version
Shepherd the Flock of God
5 So I exhort the elders among you, (A)as a fellow elder and (B)a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 (C)shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,[a] (D)not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[b] (E)not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not (F)domineering over those in your charge, but (G)being examples to the flock. 4 And when (H)the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the (I)unfading (J)crown of glory. 5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. (K)Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for (L)“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
