"For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 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. will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land."

Ezekiel 34: 11-13
