Ezequiel 34

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

A destruição da 'ovelha gorda' simboliza o julgamento divino contra os opressores dentro do próprio povo, não contra nações estrangeiras. Isso reflete uma ênfase na justiça social, ecoada em Mateus 25:32-33 (juízo entre ovelhas e bodes).
