land: and I will
feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the
habitations of the land.
34:14. I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their
pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest
on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of
Israel.
34:15. I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith
the Lord God.
34:16. I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away,
I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will
strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will
preserve, and I will feed them in judgment.
34:17. And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I
judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats.
34:18. Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you
must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and
when you drank the clearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.
34:19. And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your
feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.
34:20. Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will
judge between the fat cattle and the lean.
34:21. Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the
weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:
34:22. I will save my flock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will
judge between cattle and cattle.
34:23. 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.
David... Christ, who is of the house of David.
34:24. And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince
in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.
34:25. And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the
evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the
wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.
34:26. And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will
send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.
34:27. And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth
shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear:
and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the
bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of
those that rule ove
