MLV(i)
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 I will feed them with good pasture and their fold will be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold and on fat pasture they will feed upon the mountains of Israel.
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah. 16 I will seek what was lost and will bring back what was driven away and will bind up what was broken and will strengthen what was sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.
17 And as for you*, O my flock, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male-goats.
18 Does it seem a small thing to you* to have fed upon 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 And as for my sheep, they eat what you* have trodden with your* feet and they drink what you* have fouled with your* feet.
20 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you* thrust with side and with shoulder and push all the diseased with your* horns, till you* have scattered them abroad, 22 therefore I will save my flock and they will no more be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them and he will be their shepherd. 24 And I, Jehovah, will be their God and my servant David ruler among them. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
25 And I will make a covenant of peace with them and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land and they will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there will be showers of blessing.
27 And the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase and they will be secure in their land. And they will know that I am Jehovah when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made bondmen of them.
28 And they will no more be a prey to the nations, nor will the beasts of the earth devour them, but they will dwell securely and none will make them afraid. 29 And I will raise up to them a plantation for renown and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.
30 And they will know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the lord Jehovah. 31 And you* my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men and I am your* God, says the lord Jehovah.
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah. 16 I will seek what was lost and will bring back what was driven away and will bind up what was broken and will strengthen what was sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.
