¹⁷ And as for you, O my flock, says the Lord, truly, I will be judge between sheep and sheep, the he-sheep and the he-goats.

³² And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.

³³ And he will put the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.

²⁰ For this reason the Lord has said to them, Truly, I, even I, will be judge between the fat sheep and the thin sheep.

²¹ Because you have been pushing with side and leg, pushing the diseased with your horns till they were sent away in every direction;

²² I will make my flock safe, and they will no longer be taken away, and I will be judge between sheep and sheep.

³ My wrath is burning against the keepers of the flock, and I will send punishment on the he-goats: for the Lord of armies takes care of his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like the horse of his pride in the fight.

³⁷ And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number:

³⁸ Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
