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:

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. {punished: Heb. visited upon}

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, {even} I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: {bond: or, delivering}

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 of some have compassion, making a difference:

For we know him that hath said, Vengeance {belongeth} unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: {bond: or, delivering}

Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. {goats: Heb. great goats}

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.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, {even} I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
