11 Like a shepherd he will care for* his flock.+

He will gently lead those nursing their young.+

11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Here I am, and I myself will search for my sheep, and I will care for them.+ 12 I will care for my sheep like a shepherd who has found his scattered sheep and is feeding them.+ I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered in the day of clouds and thick gloom.+ 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and collect them together from the lands and bring them into their land and feed them on the mountains of Israel,+ by the streams and by all the dwelling places of the land.
