11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
11
“ ‘For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them.
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.
12
As a shepherd 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.
