Readings for Celebrating Advent

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.
