Isaiah 40:11

11 Like a shepherd He will (A)tend His flock,
In His arm He will gather the lambs
And carry them in His bosom;
He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

New American Standard Bible 1995
The Restoration of Israel
11 For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I Myself will (A)search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 (B)As a shepherd [a]cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered [b]sheep, so I will [c](C)care for My [d]sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a (D)cloudy and gloomy day. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will (E)feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the (F)streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will feed them in a (G)good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in [e](H)rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will (I)feed My flock and I will [f]lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God. 16 “I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the (J)fat and the strong I will destroy. I will (K)feed them with judgment.
