Ezekiel 34:23–31

²³I 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 David^o will be a prince among them. I, the Lord, have spoken.

²⁵“ ‘I will make a covenant of peace^p with them and eliminate dangerous creatures^q from the land, so that they may live securely^r in the wilderness and sleep in the forest. ²⁶I will make them and the area around my hill^s a blessing: I will send down showers in their season;^t they will be showers of blessing. ²⁷The trees of the field will yield their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; my flock will be secure in their land. They will know that I am the Lord when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the power of those who enslave them.^{u 28}They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the wild creatures of the earth will not consume them. They will live securely, and no one will frighten them. ²⁹I will establish for them a place renowned for its agriculture,^A and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land. They will no longer endure the insults of the nations.^{a 30}Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people.^b This is the declaration of the Lord God. ³¹You are my flock, the human flock of my pasture, and I am your God. This is the declaration of the Lord God.’ ”^c
