God, the True Shepherd

11 ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a (A)shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on (B)a cloudy and dark day. 13 And (C)I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, [a]in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 (D)I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. (E)There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. 16 (F)“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy (G)the fat and the strong, and feed them (H)in judgment.”

17 ‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: (I)“Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats. 18 Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the [b]residue of your pasture—and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet? 19 And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.”

20 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: (J)“Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. 21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, 22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. 23 I will establish one (K)shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—(L)My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24 And (M)I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David (N)a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

25 (O)“I will make a covenant of peace with them, and (P)cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they (Q)will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places all around (R)My hill (S)a blessing; and I will (T)cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be (U)showers of blessing. 27 Then (V)the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have (W)broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who (X)enslaved them. 28 And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but (Y)they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid. 29 I will raise up for them a (Z)garden[c] of renown, and they shall (AA)no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, (AB)nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore. 30 Thus they shall know that (AC)I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are (AD)My people,” says the Lord God.’

31 “You are My (AE)flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.

That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
(A)From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the [a]islands of the sea.

And will [b]assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together (B)the dispersed of Judah
From the four [c]corners of the earth.

And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
Together they shall plunder the [d]people of the East;
(D)They shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab;
And the people of Ammon shall obey them.
15 The Lord (E)will utterly [e]destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt;
With His mighty wind He will shake His fist over [f]the River,
And strike it in the seven streams,
And make men cross over [g]dry-shod.
16 (F)There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
Who will be left from Assyria,

In the day that he came up from the land of Egypt.
