¹² As a shepherd^(A) looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.^{(B) 13} I will bring them out from the nations and gather^(C) them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land.^(D) I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.^{(E) 14} I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel^(F) will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture^(G) on the mountains of Israel.^(H)

²³ I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend^(A) them; he will tend them and be their shepherd.^(B)

³¹ You are my sheep,^(A) the sheep of my pasture,^(B) and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

¹¹ “I am^(A) the good shepherd.^(B) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.^(C)

¹⁴ “I am the good shepherd;^(A) I know my sheep^(B) and my sheep know me— ¹⁵ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father^(C)—and I lay down my life for the sheep.^{(D) 16} I have other sheep^(E) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock^(F) and one shepherd.^(G)
