¹⁰ they shall not hunger or thirst,
    neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them down,
for he who has pity on them will lead them
    and by springs of water will guide them.^(A)

¹⁶ They will hunger no more and thirst no more;
    the sun will not strike them,
    nor any scorching heat,^(A)
17 for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd,
    and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”^(B)

¹⁶ they will live on the heights;
    their refuge will be the fortresses of rocks;
    their food will be supplied, their water assured.

⁹ With weeping they shall come,
    and with consolations^[a] I will lead them back;
I will let them walk by brooks of water,
    in a straight path where they shall not stumble,
for I have become a father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is my firstborn.^(A)

¹⁰ For the mountains may depart
    and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
    and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,
    says the Lord, who has compassion on you.^(A)

¹¹ He will feed his flock like a shepherd;
    he will gather the lambs in his arms
and carry them in his bosom
    and gently lead the mother sheep.^(A)
