For this is what the Lord has said: Truly, I, even I, will go searching and looking for my sheep.

Bible in Basic English

In The King James Version

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

In Context

10This is what the Lord has said: See I am against the keepers of the flock, and I will make search and see what they have done with my sheep, and will let them be keepers of my sheep no longer; and the keepers will no longer get food for themselves; I will take my sheep out of their mouths so that they may not be food for them.

12As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.
