Context of Ezekiel 34:13
11So this is what the Almighty Lord says: I myself will go and look for my sheep to bring them back. 12I will be like a shepherd who looks everywhere to find his lost sheep. I will find them and I will rescue them. I will bring them back from the places that they have run away to. It was a dark day with many clouds when they ran away. They have been living in foreign countries among other people. I will bring them back to live in their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel. They will eat beside its rivers and in all the places where people live. 14I will feed them in fields on Israel's mountains where grass grows. They will lie down in the good fields. They will eat the green grass that grows on the mountains. 15I myself will take care of my sheep. I will give them safe places to lie down and rest. I, the Almighty Lord, say this.
