Ezekiel 34:16

Compare all

14 ^aI will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. ^bThere they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

15 I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God.

16 ^a“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy ^bthe fat and the strong, and feed them ^cin judgment.”

17 ‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: ^a“Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.

18 Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the¹ residue of your pasture—and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet?

Ezekiel 34:16

With judgment - It is characteristic of Yahweh as a shepherd that He judges between sheep and sheep, rejecting the proud and accepting the penitent and broken-hearted.
