10 Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am (A)against the shepherds, and (B)I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall (C)feed themselves no more; for I will (D)deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.”

God, the True Shepherd

11 ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a (E)shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on (F)a cloudy and dark day. 13 And (G)I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, [a]in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country.

The Restoration of Israel

11 For the Lord God says this: “Behold, I Myself will (D)search for My sheep and look after them. 12 (E)As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered [d]sheep, so I will (F)care for My [e]sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a (G)cloudy and gloomy day. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will (H)feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the (I)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land.

10 Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

11 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
