^{17 Ref} As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.

^{18 Ref} Seems it a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?

¹⁹ As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.

^{20 Ref} Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

^{21 Ref} Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;

^{22 Ref} therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
