The Lord God Will Seek Them Out
11
"For thus says the Lord GOD: 1Behold, I, I 2myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out.
12
As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on 3a day of clouds and 4thick darkness.
13
And I will bring them out from the peoples 5and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on 6the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14
7I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. 8There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.
15
9I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, 10and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.
16
11I will seek the lost, 12and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and 13the fat and the strong I will destroy.a I will feed them in justice.
17
"As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord GOD: 14Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and 15male goats.
18
Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of 16clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet?
19
And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
20
"Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
21
Because you push with side and shoulder, and 17thrust at all the 18weak with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad,
22
I will rescueb my flock; 19they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.
