Nehemiah 9:12
And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go.

Isaiah 63:11-14
Then His people remembered the days of old, of Moses. Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in the midst of them,Who caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, Who divided the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,Who led them through the depths? Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not stumble;Like the cattle which go down into the valley, The Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. So You led Your people, To make for Yourself a glorious name.

John 10:11-42
“ I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock.He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me,just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd.For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back.No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father.”Dissension occurred again among the Jews because of these words.Many of them were saying,“ He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”Others were saying,“ These are not the words of one who is demon possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of those who are blind, can it?”At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem;it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple area, in the portico of Solomon.The Jews then surrounded Him and began saying to Him,“ How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”Jesus answered them,“ I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep.My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.I and the Father are one.”The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.Jesus replied to them,“ I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”The Jews answered Him,“ We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”Jesus answered them,“ Has it not been written in your Law:‘ I said, you are gods’?If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came( and the Scripture cannot be nullified),are you saying of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world,‘ You are blaspheming,’ because I said,‘ I am the Son of God’?If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”Therefore they were seeking again to arrest Him, and He eluded their grasp.And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He stayed there.Many came to Him and were saying,“ While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true.”And many believed in Him there.

Luke 15:4-6
“ What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the other ninety nine in the open pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?And when he has found it, he puts it on his shoulders, rejoicing.And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them,‘ Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’

Psalms 105:37
Then He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

Ezekiel 34:11-31
For the Lord God says this:“ Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and look after them.As a shepherd cares for his flock on a day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for My sheep and will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day.I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land.I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing place and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.I Myself will feed My flock and I Myself will lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God.“ I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will feed them with judgment.“ As for you, My flock, this is what the Lord God says:‘ Behold, I am going to judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the male goats.Is it too little a thing for you to feed in the good pasture, that you must trample with your feet the rest of your pastures? Or too little for you to drink the clear waters, that you must muddy the rest with your feet?But as for My flock, they must eat what you trample with your feet, and drink what you muddy with your feet!’ ”Therefore, this is what the Lord God says to them:“ Behold, I, I Myself will also judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.Since you push away with your side and shoulder, and gore all the weak with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,therefore, I will save My flock, and they will no longer be plunder; and I will judge between one sheep and another.“ Then I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd.And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David will be prince among them; I the Lord have spoken.“ And I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate harmful animals from the land, so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. And I will make showers fall in their season; they will be showers of blessing.Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its produce, and they will be secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have saved them from the hand of those who enslaved them.They will no longer be plunder to the nations, and the animals of the earth will not devour them; but they will live securely, and no one will make them afraid.I will establish for them a renowned planting place, and they will not again be victims of famine in the land, and they will not endure the insults of the nations anymore.Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,” declares the Lord God.“ As for you, My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, you are mankind, and I am your God,” declares the Lord God.

Jeremiah 23:2-4
Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel says concerning the shepherds who are tending My people:“ You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not been concerned about them; behold, I am going to call you to account for the evil of your deeds,” declares the Lord.“ Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply.I will also raise up shepherds over them and they will tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord.
