What man of you having a hundred sheep, and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the deserted place and go after the lost one until he finds it?
In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negeb, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks shall pass again under the hands of him who tallies, says Jehovah.
My people are lost sheep, their shepherd has led them astray; they turned them back on the mountains, they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
I will seek the lost, and I will return the banished. And I will bind up the broken, and I will make the weak strong. But I will destroy the fat and the strong, I will feed them with judgment.
You have not made the weak strong; and you have not healed the sick, and you have not bound up the broken. And the banished have not been brought back, and you have not sought the lost, but you rule them with force and with harshness.
As I live, a statement of the Lord Jehovah, if not because My sheep became a prey, and My sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, from having no shepherds and because My shepherds did not search for My sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed the flock,
But He said to them, What man of you will be who will have one sheep, and if this one fall into a pit on the sabbaths, will he not lay hold of it and raise it up?
Then the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrite! Each one of you on the sabbath, does he not loose his ox or ass from the manger, and leading it away, give it drink?
Therefore, O man, you are without excuse, every one judging, for in that in which you judge the other, you condemn yourself; for you, the one judging, practice the same things.
