Yahweh Will Shepherd His Flock

11 For thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I Myself will (A)seek My sheep and care for them. 12 (B)As a shepherd [a]cares for his herd in the day when he is among his [b]sheep which are spread out, so I will [c](C)care for My [d]sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a (D)cloudy and gloomy day. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will (E)shepherd them on the mountains of Israel, by the (F)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will shepherd them in a (G)good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and be shepherded in [e](H)rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will (I)shepherd My flock, and I will make them lie down,” declares Lord Yahweh. 16 “I will search for the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the (J)fat and the strong I will destroy. I will (K)shepherd them with judgment.

11 For this is what the Lord God says. Here I am. I myself will seek the welfare of my flock and carefully search for them. 12 As a shepherd searches for his flock when his sheep that were with him have been scattered, so I will search for my flock and rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own soil. I will shepherd them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all the settlements of the land. 14 I will lead them into good pasture, and their grazing land will be on the high mountains of Israel. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and they will pasture on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will shepherd my flock. I myself will let them lie down, declares the Lord God. 16 I will seek the lost. I will bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured. I will strengthen the weak. I will destroy the fat and the strong, and I will shepherd them with justice.
