12 As a shepherd(A) looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.(B) 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather(C) them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land.(D) I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.(E) 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel(F) will be their grazing land.

I will bind up(K) the injured and strengthen the weak,(L) but the sleek and the strong I will destroy.(M) I will shepherd the flock with justice.(N)
