EZEKIEL 34:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?”
Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep, establishing God as judge within the community who will distinguish between the privileged (who consume excessively) and the disadvantaged (who lack resources). The metaphor of fat and lean suggests economic inequality within the community.
