driven away, and will bind up
that which was
broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but
I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
17
And
as for
you, O my flock,
thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he
goats.
18
Seemeth it
a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread
down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye
must foul the residue with your feet?
19
And
as for
my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden
with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
20
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I,
even
I, will judge between the fat
cattle and between the lean cattle.
21
Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed
all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
22
Therefore will I save my
flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23
And I will set
up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them,
even
my servant David; he shall feed them,
and he shall be their shepherd.
24
And I the L
ORD
will be their God, and my servant David a prince
among them; I the L
ORD
have spoken
it.
25
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and
will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and
sleep in the woods.
26
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I
will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
27
And the
tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in
their land, and shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and
delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
28
And they shall no more
be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely,
and none shall make
them
afraid.
29
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall
be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
30
Thus shall they know that I the L
ORD
their God
am
with them, and
that
they,
even
the house of
Israel,
are
my people, saith the Lord GOD.
31
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture,
are
men,
and
I
am
your God, saith the Lord GOD.
CHAPTER 35
Moreover the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, set thy face against mount
Seir, and prophesy against it,
3
And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir,
I
am
against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I
am
the L
ORD
.
5
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed
the blood of
the children of Israel by the
force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time
that their
iniquity
had
an end:
6
Therefore,
as
I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou
hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate,
