Ezekiel 34:11-17

11For the Lord God says this: “Behold, I Myself will 1search for My sheep and look after them. 12 2As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered 3sheep, so I will 4care for My 5sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a 6cloudy 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 7feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the 8streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14I will feed them in a 9good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing place and feed in 10 11rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I Myself will 12feed My flock and I Myself will 13lead 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 14fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will 15feed them with judgment.

17“As for you, My flock, this is what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I am going to 16judge between one 17sheep and another, between the rams and the male goats.
