34:12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out my flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered on a cloudy, dark day. 1 34:13 I will bring them out from among the peoples and gather them from foreign countries; I will bring them to their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams and all the inhabited places of the land.
34:14 In a good pasture I will feed them; the mountain heights of Israel will be their pasture. There they will lie down in a lush 2 pasture, and they will feed on rich grass on the mountains of Israel.
