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.”

In (D)a perpetual covenant
That will not be forgotten.’

9 (C)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk (D)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My (E)firstborn.

And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11 [b]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge (B)My righteous (C)Servant shall (D)justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12 (E)Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
(F)And He shall divide the [c]spoil with the strong,
Because He (G)poured out His soul unto death,
And He was (H)numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And (I)made intercession for the transgressors.
