¹¹ For this is what the Lord has said: Truly, I, even I, will go searching and looking for my sheep.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.

¹⁶ And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

⁸ For this cause the Lord has said: See, I, even I, am against you; and I will be judging among you before the eyes of the nations.

⁸ See, I will take them from the north country, and get them from the inmost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the feeble-footed, the woman with child and her who is in birth-pains together: a very great army, they will come back here.

³ And I will get the rest of my flock together from all the countries where I have sent them, and will make them come back again to their resting-place; and they will have offspring and be increased.

⁸ The Lord God, who gets together the wandering ones of Israel, says, I will get together others in addition to those of Israel who have come back.

¹² I, even I, am your comforter: are you so poor in heart as to be in fear of man who will come to an end, and of the son of man who will be like grass?

¹⁵ I, even I, have given the word; I have sent for him: I have made him come, and have given effect to his undertakings.

¹² I have made the earth, forming man on it: by my hands the heavens have been stretched out, and all the stars put in their ordered places.

¹⁰ See, the Lord God will come as a strong one, ruling in power: see, those made free by him are with him, and those whom he has made safe go before him.

¹¹ He will give food to his flock like a keeper of sheep; with his arm he will get it together, and will take up the lambs on his breast, gently guiding those which are with young.

¹⁷⁶ I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.

¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim-eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

² He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

³ He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

³⁹ See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand.

²⁸ Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

¹¹ And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹² Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

¹⁴ For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.

³ You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.

¹⁷ For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.
