KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

11 H559 For thus saith [H8804] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H1875 ; Behold, I, even I, will both search [H8804] H6629 my sheep H1239 , and seek them out [H8765] .

12 H7462 As a shepherd [H8802] H1243 seeketh out H5739 his flock H3117 in the day H8432 that he is among H6629 his sheep H6567 that are scattered [H8737] H1239 ; so will I seek out [H8762] H6629 my sheep H5337 , and will deliver [H8689] H4725 them out of all places H6327 where they have been scattered [H8738] H6051 in the cloudy H6205 and dark H3117 day.

13 H3318 And I will bring them out [H8689] H5971 from the people H6908 , and gather [H8765] H776 them from the countries H935 , and will bring [H8689] H127 them to their own land H7462 , and feed [H8804] H2022 them upon the mountains H3478 of Israel H650 by the rivers H4186 , and in all the inhabited places H776 of the country.

14 H7462 I will feed [H8799] H2896 them in a good H4829 pasture H4791 , and upon the high H2022 mountains H3478 of Israel H5116 shall their fold H7257 be: there shall they lie [H8799] H2896 in a good H5116 fold H8082 , and in a fat H4829 pasture H7462 shall they feed [H8799] H2022 upon the mountains H3478 of Israel.

15 H7462 I will feed [H8799] H6629 my flock H7257 , and I will cause them to lie down [H8686] H5002 , saith [H8803] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD.

16 H1245 I will seek [H8762] H6 that which was lost [H8802] H7725 , and bring again [H8686] H5080 that which was driven away [H8737] H2280 , and will bind up [H8799] H7665 that which was broken [H8737] H2388 , and will strengthen [H8762] H2470 that which was sick [H8802] H8045 : but I will destroy [H8686] H8082 the fat H2389 and the strong H7462 ; I will feed [H8799] H4941 them with judgment.

17 H859 And as for you H6629 , O my flock H559 , thus saith [H8804] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H8199 ; Behold, I judge [H8802] H7716 between cattle H7716 and cattle H352 , between the rams H6260 and the he goats.

18 H4592 Seemeth it a small thing H7462 unto you to have eaten up [H8799] H2896 the good H4829 pasture H7429 , but ye must tread down [H8799] H7272 with your feet H3499 the residue H4829 of your pastures H8354 ? and to have drunk [H8799] H4950 of the deep H4325 waters H7515 , but ye must foul [H8799] H3498 the residue [H8737] H7272 with your feet?

19 H6629 And as for my flock H7462 , they eat [H8799] H4823 that which ye have trodden H7272 with your feet H8354 ; and they drink [H8799] H4833 that which ye have fouled H7272 with your feet.

20 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H8199 unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge [H8804] H1274 between the fat H7716 cattle H7330 and between the lean H7716 cattle.

21 H1920 Because ye have thrust [H8799] H6654 with side H3802 and with shoulder H5055 , and pushed [H8762] H2470 all the diseased [H8737] H7161 with your horns H6327 , till ye have scattered [H8689] H2351 them abroad;

22 H3467 Therefore will I save [H8689] H6629 my flock H957 , and they shall no more be a prey H8199 ; and I will judge [H8804] H7716 between cattle H7716 and cattle.

23 H6965 And I will set up [H8689] H259 one H7462 shepherd [H8802] H7462 over them, and he shall feed [H8804] H5650 them, even my servant H1732 David H7462 ; he shall feed [H8799] H7462 them, and he shall be their shepherd [H8802] .

24 H3068 And I the LORD H430 will be their God H5650 , and my servant H1732 David H5387 a prince H8432 among H3068 them; I the LORD H1696 have spoken [H8765] it .

25 H3772 And I will make [H8804] H1285 with them a covenant H7965 of peace H7451 , and will cause the evil H2416 beasts H7673 to cease [H8689] H776 out of the land H3427 : and they shall dwell [H8804] H983 safely H4057 in the wilderness H3462 , and sleep [H8804] H3293 in the woods [H8675] H3264 .

26 H5414 And I will make [H8804] H5439 them and the places round about H1389 my hill H1293 a blessing H1653 ; and I will cause the shower H3381 to come down [H8689] H6256 in his season H1653 ; there shall be showers H1293 of blessing.

27 H6086 And the tree H7704 of the field H5414 shall yield [H8804] H6529 her fruit H776 , and the earth H5414 shall yield [H8799] H2981 her increase H983 , and they shall be safe H127 in their land H3045 , and shall know [H8804] H3068 that I am the LORD H7665 , when I have broken [H8800] H4133 the bands H5923 of their yoke H5337 , and delivered [H8689] H3027 them out of the hand H5647 of those that served [H8802] themselves of them.

28 H957 And they shall no more be a prey H1471 to the heathen H2416 , neither shall the beast H776 of the land H398 devour [H8799] H3427 them; but they shall dwell [H8804] H983 safely H2729 , and none shall make them afraid [H8688] .

29 H6965 And I will raise up [H8689] H4302 for them a plant H8034 of renown H622 , and they shall be no more consumed [H8803] H7458 with hunger H776 in the land H5375 , neither bear [H8799] H3639 the shame H1471 of the heathen any more.

30 H3045 Thus shall they know [H8804] H3068 that I the LORD H430 their God H1004 am with them, and that they, even the house H3478 of Israel H5971 , are my people H5002 , saith [H8803] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD.

31 H859 And ye H6629 my flock H6629 , the flock H4830 of my pasture H120 , are men H430 , and I am your God H5002 , saith [H8803] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 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. ¹³ And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. ¹⁴ I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. ¹⁵ I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. ¹⁶ I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. ¹⁷ And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. ¹⁸ Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? ¹⁹ And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. ²⁰ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. ²¹ Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; ²² Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. ²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. ²⁴ And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. ²⁵ And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. ²⁶ And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. ²⁷ And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. ²⁸ And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. ²⁹ And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. ³⁰ Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. ³¹ And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.
