Ezekiel 34:23–31

²³I will appoint over them a single shepherd, My servant David, and he will shepherd them. He will tend them himself and will be their shepherd. ^s24I, Yahweh, will be their God, and My servant David ^twill be a prince among them. I, Yahweh, have spoken.

²⁵“I will make a covenant of peace ^uwith them and eliminate dangerous animals ^vin the land, so that they may live securely ^win the wilderness and sleep in the forest. ²⁶I will make them and the area around My hill ^xa blessing: I will send down showers in their season ^y—showers ^zof blessing. ²⁷The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock will be secure in their land. They will know that I am Yahweh when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslave them. ^a28They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the wild animals of the land 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, ^band they will no longer be victims of famine in the land. They will no longer endure the insults of the nations. ^c30Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people.” ^dThis is the declaration of the Lord God. ³¹“You are My flock, the human flock of My pasture, and I am your God.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. ^e
