11 For thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek
them out.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out
his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are
scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them
out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy
and dark day.
13 And I will bring them out
from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will
bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains
of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the
country.
14 I will feed them in a good
pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold
be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat
pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
15 I will feed my flock, and I
will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
16 I will seek that which was
lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind
up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which
was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed
them with judgment.
