I will save my flock: God repeats the promise he made in verse 10 (see the comments there). The Hebrew word for flock is the collective term for a group of domestic animals (see Ezek 34.2), not the term for a big group of sheep as in verse 12.

God also assures his sheep that they shall no longer be a prey, as they were while the bad shepherds were still there (see Ezek 34.8).

And I will judge between sheep and sheep: See verse 17.

A model for this verse is:

• I will rescue my sheep. No longer will wild animals be able to hunt and eat them. I will judge between one animal and another.
