Ezekiel 34:25–31

The Lord’s Covenant of Peace

^25s“I will make with them a covenant of peace and ^tbanish wild beasts from the land, ^uso that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. ²⁶And I will make them and the places all around my hill ^va blessing, and ^wI will send down the showers in their season; they shall be ^xshowers of blessing. ^27yAnd the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, ^uand they shall be secure in their land. And ^zthey shall know that I am the Lord, when ^aI break the bars of their yoke, and ^adeliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. ²⁸ⁿThey shall no more be a prey to the nations, ^tnor shall the beasts of the land devour them. ^uThey shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. ²⁹And I will provide for them ^ba renowned place for planting so that ^cthey shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer ^dsuffer the reproach of the nations. ³⁰And they shall know that ^qI am the Lord their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God. ³¹And you are my sheep, ^ehuman sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
