For thus says the Lord God , "Behold, I Myself will ^(q)search for My sheep and seek them out.

^(r)As a shepherd ^[k]cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered ^[l]sheep, so I will ^[m](s)care for My ^[n]sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a ^(t)cloudy and gloomy day.

I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will ^(u)feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ^(v)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land.

I will feed them in a ^(w)good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in ^[o](x)rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

I will ^(y)feed My flock and I will ^[p]lead them to rest," declares the Lord God .

"I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the ^(z)fat and the strong I will destroy. I will ^(aa)feed them with judgment.
