19 My other sheep have to eat the grass you trample down and drink the water you muddy.
20 “So now, I, the Sovereign Lord, tell you that I will judge between you strong sheep and the weak sheep.
21 You pushed the sick ones aside and butted them away from the flock.
22 But I will rescue my sheep and not let them be ill-treated any more. I will judge each of my sheep and separate the good from the bad.
23 I will give them a king like my servant David to be their one shepherd, and he will take care of them.
24 I, the Lord, will be their God, and a king like my servant David will be their ruler. I have spoken.
25 I will make a covenant with them that guarantees their security. I will get rid of all the dangerous animals in the land, so that my sheep can live safely in the fields and sleep in the forests.
