²³“I will place one shepherd over them. He will belong to the family line of my servant David. He will take good care of them. He will look after them. He will be their shepherd. ²⁴I am the Lord. I will be their God. And my servant from David’s line will be prince among them. I have spoken. I am the Lord.

²⁵“I will make a covenant with them. It promises to give them peace. I will get rid of the wild animals in the land. Then my sheep can live safely in the desert. They can sleep in the forests.

²⁶“I will bless them. I will also bless the places surrounding my holy mountain of Zion. I will send down rain at the right time. There will be showers of blessing. ²⁷The trees in the fields will bear their fruit. And the ground will produce its crops. The people will be secure in their land. I will break the chains that hold them. I will save them from the powerful hands of those who made them slaves. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

²⁸“The nations will not carry them off anymore. Wild animals will no longer eat them up. They will live in safety. And no one will make them afraid. ²⁹I will give them a land that is famous for its crops. They will never be hungry there again. The nations will not make fun of them anymore.

³⁰“Then they will know that I am with them. I am the Lord their God. And they will know that they are my people Israel,” announces the Lord and King.

³¹“You are the sheep belonging to my flock. You are my people. And I am your God,” announces the Lord and King.
