    1Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

    2He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

    3The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

    4When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

    5They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

    6And my sheep went out of the way, wandering through all the mountains and on every high hill: my sheep went here and there over all the face of the earth; and no one was troubled about them or went in search of them.

    7For this cause, O keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord:

    8By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food;

    9For this reason, O you keepers of the flock, give ear to the word of the Lord;

    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.

    11For this is what the Lord has said: Truly, I, even I, will go searching and looking for my sheep.

    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.
