Ezekiel 34:22-31

22therefore, I will 1deliver My flock, and they will no longer be a prey; and I will judge between one sheep and another.

23“Then I will 2set over them one 3shepherd, My servant 4David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd. 24And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant 5David will be prince among them; I the Lord have spoken.

25“I will make a 6covenant of peace with them and 7eliminate harmful beasts from the land so that they may 8live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26I will make them and the places around My hill a 9blessing. And I will cause 10showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of 11blessing. 27Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be 12secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have 13broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 28They will no longer be a prey to the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not devour them; but they will 14live securely, and no one will make them afraid. 29I will establish for them a 15renowned planting place, and they will 16not again be 17victims of famine in the land, and they will not 18endure the insults of the nations anymore. 30Then they will know that 19I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,” declares the Lord God. 31“As for you, My 20sheep, the 21sheep of My pasture, you are men, and I am your God,” declares the Lord God.
