²³“Then I will ^aestablish over them one ^bshepherd, My servant ^cDavid, and he will shepherd them; he will shepherd them himself and be their shepherd.

²⁴“And I, Yahweh, will be their God, and My servant ^aDavid will be prince among them; I, Yahweh, have spoken.

Yahweh’s Covenant of Peace

²⁵“I will cut a ^acovenant of peace with them and ^bcause harmful beasts to cease from the land so that they may ^clive securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

²⁶“I will make them and the places all around My hill a ^ablessing. And I will cause ^bshowers to come down in their season; they will be showers of ^cblessing.

²⁷“Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its produce, and they will be ^asecure on their land. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have ^bbroken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.

²⁸“They will no longer be plunder to the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not devour them; but they will ^alive securely, and no one will make them tremble.

²⁹“I will establish for them a ^1arenowned planting place, and they will ^bnot again be ²victims of famine in the land, and they will not ^cbear the dishonor of the nations anymore.

³⁰“Then they will know that ^aI, Yahweh their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,” declares Lord Yahweh.

³¹“As for you, My ^asheep, the ^bsheep of My pasture, you are men, and I am your God,” declares Lord Yahweh.
