11. for this is what the Sovereign Lord says,

I myself will search for my sheep and look after
them, 12 as a shepherd looks after his scattered
flock, 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.

13. i will bring them back from the nations and
gather them from all countries. i will bring them
into their own land. i will pasture them in the mountains
of Isreal, in the ravines and in all the settlements of
the land.

14. i will tend them in good pasture, the mountain heights
will be their grazing land, there they will lie down in good grazing
land, there they will feed on good pasture on the mountains of Isreal.


15. I myself will tend my sheep and make them lie down, declares the
Sovereign Lord.

16. i will search for the lost and bring back the strays, i will bind up
the injured and strengthen the weak. but as for the sleek and strong,
i will destroy, i will shepherd my sheep with judge.

17. as for you, my flock, i will judge between one sheep and another,
between rams and goats. 18. Is it not enough for you to feet on good land?
must you trample the rest with your feed. is it not enough for you to drink
clear water? must you muddy the rest with your feet.

19. must my sheep feed what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied
with your feet.
