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. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them with good ⁱpasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. 15 ^jI myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and ^kI myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. 16 I will ^lseek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will ^mbind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy.¹ I will feed them in justice.

23 And I will set up over them one ⁿshepherd, my servant ^oDavid, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd.
