"`Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them: Behold I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

therefore will I save My flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

and I will purge out from among you the rebels and them that transgress against Me. I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

"Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats; for the LORD of hosts hath visited His flock, the house of Judah, and hath made them as His goodly horse in the battle.

And before Him shall be gathered all nations, and He shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.

And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
