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.

Revised Standard Version

God, the True Shepherd

11 “For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when some of his sheep[a] have been scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the fountains, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on fat pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord God. 16 I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the crippled, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will watch over;[b] I will feed them in justice.
