Ezekiel 34:11-24 - The Lord God Will Seek Them Out
11 For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh,- Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out: 12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick darkness; 13 And I will bring them out from among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable places of the land: 14 In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, - There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel. 15 myself will tend my flock.

My servant David being a prince in their midst; - I, Yahweh, have spoken;
