¹²“^aAs a shepherd ¹cares for his herd in the day when he is among his ²sheep which are spread out, so I will ³^bcare for My ⁴sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a ^ccloudy 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 ^ashepherd them on the mountains of Israel, by the ^bstreams, and in all the inhabited places of the land.

¹⁴“I will shepherd them in a ^agood pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and be shepherded in ¹^brich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

¹⁵“I will ^ashepherd My flock, and I will make them lie down,” declares Lord Yahweh.

¹⁶“I will search for the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the ^afat and the strong I will destroy. I will ^bshepherd them with judgment.
