Was it not ynough for you to drynke cleare water, but ye must trouble the residue also with youre fete? 19 Thus my shepe must be fayne to eate ye thinge, that ye haue troden downe with yor fete, and to drynke it, that ye with youre fete haue defyled. 20 Therfore, thus sayeth the LORDE God vnto them: Beholde, I will seuer the fat shepe from the leane: 21 for so moch as ye haue shot the weake shepe a po ye sydes & shulders, and runne vpon them with youre hornes, so longe till ye haue vtterly scatred them abrode. 22 I wil helpe my shepe, so yt they shal nomore be spoyled: yee I wil discerne one shepe from another. 23 I wil rayse vp vnto them one only shepherde: euen my seruaunt Dauid, he shal fede the, and he shal be their shepherde. 24 I the LORDE wil be their God, and my seruaunt Dauid shal be their prince: Euen I the LORDE haue spoken it. 25 Morouer, I wil make a couenaunt of peace with them, and dryue all euell beastes out of the londe: so that they maye dwell safely in the wildernesse, and slepe in the woddes. 26 Good fortune & prosperite wil I geue them, and vnto all that be rounde aboute my hill.
