Ezekiel 34:12-16

12 1As a shepherd 2cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered 3sheep, so I will 4 5care for My 6sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a 7cloudy and gloomy day. 13I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will 8feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the 9streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14I will feed them in a 10good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in 11 12rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I will 13feed My flock and I will 14lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God. 16“I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the 15fat and the strong I will destroy. I will 16feed them with judgment.
