Readings for Celebrating Advent

²⁰ Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh to them, “Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. ²¹ Because you push with side and with shoulder, and ^(A)thrust at all the sickly with your horns until you have scattered them ^[a]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)establish over them one ^(D)shepherd, My servant ^(E)David, and he will shepherd them; he will shepherd them himself and be their shepherd.
