Ezekiel 34:15-18 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. "I myself will take care of my sheep. I will let them lie down in safety," announces the Lord and King.

16. "I will search for the lost. I will bring back those that have wandered away. I will bandage the ones that are hurt. I will make the weak ones stronger. But I will destroy those that are fat and strong. I will take good care of my sheep. I will treat them fairly."

17. The Lord and King says, "You are my flock. I will judge between one sheep and another. I will judge between rams and goats.

18. You already eat in the best grasslands. Must you also stomp all over the other fields? You already drink clear water. Must you also make the rest of the water muddy with your feet?
