Ezekiel 34:12-16

12 1As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered 2sheep, so I will 3care for My 4sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a 5cloudy 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 6feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the 7streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14I will feed them in a 8good 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 9 10rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I Myself will 11feed My flock and I Myself will 12lead 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 13fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will 14feed them with judgment.
