The Lord God Will Seek Them Out
11 "For thus says the Lord God: [Luke 19:10;John 10:11] Behold, I, I [Mic. 4:6,7]myself will search 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 ch. 30:3a day of clouds and Joel 2:2;Zeph. 1:15thick darkness. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples See ch. 11:17and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on See ch. 6:2the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 Ps. 23:2;[John 10:9] I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. [Isa. 32:18;Jer. 33:12]There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. 15 [ver. 23; Isa. 40:11] I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, [See ver. 14above]and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. 16 [ver. 4] I will seek the lost, Mic. 4:6and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and [ver. 20;Isa. 10:16;Amos 4:1]the fat and the strong I will destroy.34:16 Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate I will watch over I will feed them in justice.
