Ezekiel 34:11–16

¹¹“ ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I, even I, will seek my flock, and I will look after them, ¹²just like the caring of a shepherd for his herd on^q the day when he is in the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will look after my flock, and I will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered^r on the day of storm and stress.^{s 13}And I will bring them out from the peoples, and I will gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their soil, and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all of the settlements of the land. ¹⁴I will feed them in good pasture, and their pasture will be on the mountains of the heights of Israel; there they will lie down in good pasture, and on lush pasture they will feed on the mountains of Israel. ¹⁵I myself^t will feed my flock and I myself^u will allow them to lie down,” declares^v the Lord Yahweh. ¹⁶“I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the scattered, and I will bind up the one hurt, and I will strengthen the sick; and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed her with justice.”
