Ezekiel 34:11–16

11 “ ‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheepi and look after them. 12 As a shepherdj looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.k 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gatherl them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land.m I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.n 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israelo will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasturep on the mountains of Israel.q 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down,r declares the Sovereign Lord.s 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind upt the injured and strengthen the weak,u but the sleek and the strong I will destroy.v I will shepherd the flock with justice.w
