Ezekiel 34:20–26

20 “ ‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Since you have pushed with flank and shoulder and butted all the weak ones with your horns until you scattered them all over, 22 I will save my flock. They will no longer be prey, and I will judge between one sheep and another. 23 I will establish over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will shepherd them. He will tend them himself and will be their shepherd.n 24 I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant Davido will be a prince among them. I, the Lord, have spoken.

25 “ ‘I will make a covenant of peacep with them and eliminate dangerous creaturesq from the land, so that they may live securelyr in the wilderness and sleep in the forest. 26 I will make them and the area around my hills a blessing: I will send down showers in their season;t they will be showers of blessing.
