[Nihil Obstat]

The Navarre in post #5 says: and the fat and the strong I will watch over; I will feed them in justice.

My Douay-Rheims says: and I will strengthen what was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in judgement.

The Haydock commentary in the Douay-Rheims says:

"'Preserve' which seems more natural than 'Destroy'. I will not eat them like bad shepherds. God and those whom He sends, will take care of the flock."

[Salvation]

**preserve: and I will feed them in judgement.**

All people will be judged at the end, but I take this to mean that the judgment will be to separate from Christ the King. Will they be fed the fires of everlasting damnation?

Thanks for your help! Perhaps instead of the sign for destroy by itself (which would indicate absolute destruction) I can combine it with the sign for reduce, which would more closely align with "the fat and the strong" which precedes it.
