10 Behold, the Lord God shall come [a]with a strong hand,
And (A)His arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, (B)His reward is with Him,

And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.

11 (A)“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a [a]hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and (B)leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and (C)I know My sheep, and (D)am known by My own.
