14I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold.

I will feed them in justice.”’ 17“As for you, O my flock, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats. 18Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on 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 must you foul the residue with your feet?
