The Lord God Will Seek Them Out

11 “For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will ^gsearch 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 a ^hday of clouds and thick darkness.

12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and ^kgo in search of the one that went astray?

4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and ^ygo after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
