Ezekiel 34:25–31

²⁵“ ‘I will make a covenant^j of peace^k with them and rid the land of savage beasts^l so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety.^{m 26}I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing.^an I will send down showers in season;^o there will be showers of blessing.^{p 27}The trees will yield their fruit^q and the ground will yield its crops;^r the people will be secure^s in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke^t and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them.^{u 28}They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety,^v and no one will make them afraid.^{w 29}I will provide for them a land renowned^x for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine^y in the land or bear the scorn^z of the nations.^{a 30}Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord.^{b 31}You are my sheep,^c the sheep of my pasture,^d and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’ ”
