11   He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
    he will gather the lambs in his arms;
  he will carry them in his bosom,
    and gently lead those that are with young.

And be thankful.

    and what does the LORD require of you
  but to do justice, and to love kindness,
    and to walk humbly with your God?

    and a soft tongue will break a bone.
