¹⁵ I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. ^16 (A)“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy ^(B)the fat and the strong, and feed them ^(C)in judgment.”

The Coming King^(B)

² For ^(A)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He ^(B)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”

²⁴ And ^(A)in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who ^(B)were slain on the earth.”

^20 (A)“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you ^[a]holy apostles and prophets, for ^(B)God has avenged you on her!”

^6 (A)Render to her just as she rendered ^[a]to you, and repay her double according to her works; ^(B)in the cup which she has mixed, ^(C)mix double for her. ^7 (D)In the measure that she glorified herself and lived ^[b]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as ^(E)queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ ⁸ Therefore her plagues will come ^(F)in one day—death and mourning and famine. And ^(G)she will be utterly burned with fire, ^(H)for strong is the Lord God who ^[c]judges her.
