The Restoration of Israel

11 For the Lord God says this: “Behold, I Myself will (A)search for My sheep and look after them. 12 (B)As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered [a]sheep, so I will (C)care for My [b]sheep and will rescue them from all the places where 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)feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the (F)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will feed them in a (G)good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing place and feed in [c](H)rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I Myself will (I)feed My flock and I Myself will [d]lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God. 16 “I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the (J)fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will (K)feed them with judgment.

11 “For this is what the Lord God says: See, I Myself will search for My flock and look for them. 12 As a shepherd looks for his sheep on the day he is among his scattered flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered(A) on a cloudy and dark day. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples, gather them from the countries, and bring them into their own land. I will shepherd them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will tend them with good pasture, and their grazing place will be on Israel’s lofty mountains. There they will lie down in a good grazing place; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will tend My flock and let them lie down.”(B) This is the declaration of the Lord God. 16 “I will seek the lost,(C) bring back the strays, bandage the injured,(D) and strengthen the weak, but I will destroy[a] the fat and the strong. I will shepherd them with justice.
