Ezekiel 34:20-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 34
20Therefore, this is what the Lord God says to them: 'Behold, I, I Myself will also judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21Since you push away with your side and shoulder, and gore all the weak with your horns until you have scattered them abroad, 22therefore, I will save My flock, and they will no longer be plunder; and I will judge between one sheep and another.
23Then I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd.
24And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David will be prince among them; I the Lord have spoken.
25And I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate harmful animals from the land, so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
26I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. And I will make showers fall in their season; they will be showers of blessing.
King James Version
Chapter 34
20Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; 22Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 23And 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. 24And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. 25And 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. 26And 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.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 34
20" 'Therefore, this is what the Lord God says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21Since you have pushed with flank and shoulder and butted all the weak ones with your horns until you scattered them all over, 22I will save my flock. They will no longer be prey, and I will judge between one sheep and another. 23I will establish over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will shepherd them. He will tend them himself and will be their shepherd. 24I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be a prince among them. I, the Lord, have spoken.
25" 'I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate dangerous creatures from the land, so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.

New Living Translation
Chapter 34
20Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will surely judge between the fat sheep and the scrawny sheep. 21For you fat sheep pushed and butted and crowded my sick and hungry flock until you scattered them to distant lands. 22So I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be abused. I will judge between one animal of the flock and another. 23And I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David. He will feed them and be a shepherd to them. 24And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be a prince among my people. I, the Lord, have spoken!
25I will make a covenant of peace with my people and drive away the dangerous animals from the land. Then they will be able to camp safely in the wildest places and sleep in the woods without fear.
26I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing.
