‏ Isaiah 40:11

11. feed--including all a shepherd's care--"tend" (Eze 34:23; Psa 23:1; He 13:20; 1Pe 2:25).

carry--applicable to Messiah's restoration of Israel, as sheep scattered in all lands, and unable to move of themselves to their own land (Psa 80:1; Jr 23:3). As Israel was "carried from the womb" (that is, in its earliest days) (Is 63:9, 11, 12; Psa 77:20), so it shall be in "old age" (that is, its latter days) (Is 46:3, 4).

gently lead--as a thoughtful shepherd does the ewes "giving suck" (Margin) (Ge 33:13, 14).
