For the Lord GOD says this: "Behold, I Myself will ^(C1)search for My sheep and look after them.

"^(C1)As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered ^(F1)sheep, so I will ^(C2)care for My ^(F1)sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a ^(C3)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 ^(C1)feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ^(C2)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land.

"I will feed them in a ^(C1)good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing place and feed in ^(F1)(C2)rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

"I Myself will ^(C1)feed My flock and I Myself will ^(F1)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 ^(C1)fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will ^(C2)feed them with judgment.

"Then I will ^(C1)appoint over them one ^(C2)shepherd, My servant ^(C3)David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd.
