Context of Ezekiel 34:28

26I will bless them and the places around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. These showers will be a blessing to them. 27Then the trees in the field will produce fruit, the land will yield crops, and my sheep will live safely in their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, because I will break off the bars on their yokes and rescue them from the people who made them slaves. They will no longer be prey to the nations, and the wild animals will no longer eat them. They will live safely, and no one will frighten them. 29I will give them a place that is known for its good crops. They will no longer experience hunger in the land, and they will no longer suffer the insults of other nations. 30Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the people of Israel, are my people, declares the Almighty Lord.
