Ezekiel 34:20-31

20ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068 to them, “BeholdH2009, I, even I, will judgeH8199 betweenH996 the fatH1277 sheepH7716 and the leanH7330 sheepH7716. 21BecauseH3282 you pushH1920 with sideH6654 and with shoulderH3802, and 1thrustH1920 at allH3605 the 2weakH2470 with your hornsH7161 untilH5704 H834 you have scatteredH6327 them 3abroadH2351, 22therefore, I will 4deliverH3467 My flockH6629, and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be a preyH957; and I will judgeH8199 betweenH996 one sheepH7716 and anotherH7716.

23“Then I will 5setH6965 overH5921 them oneH259 6shepherdH7462, My servantH5650 7DavidH1732, and he will feedH7462 them; he will feedH7462 them himselfH1931 and be their shepherdH7462. 24And I, the LordH3068, will be their GodH430, and My servantH5650 8DavidH1732 will be princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LordH3068 have spokenH1696.

25“I will makeH3772 a 9covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 with them and 10eliminateH7673 harmfulH7451 beastsH2421 from the landH776 so that they may 11liveH3427 securelyH983 in the wildernessH4057 and sleepH3462 in the woodsH3293. 26I will makeH5414 them and the placesH5439 aroundH5439 My hillH1389 a 12blessingH1293. And I will cause 13showersH1653 to comeH3381 downH3381 in their seasonH6256; they will be showersH1653 of 14blessingH1293. 27Also the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 will yieldH5414 its fruitH6529 and the earthH776 will yieldH5414 its increaseH2981, and they will be 15secureH983 on their landH127. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I have 16brokenH7665 the barsH4133 of their yokeH5923 and have deliveredH5337 them from the handH3027 of those who enslavedH5647 them. 28They will noH3808 longerH5750 be a preyH957 to the nationsH1471, and the beastsH2421 of the earthH776 will not devourH398 them; but they will 17liveH3427 securelyH983, and noH369 oneH369 will makeH2729 them afraidH2729. 29I will establishH6965 for them a 18renownedH8034 plantingH4302 placeH4302, and they will 19not againH5750 be 20victimsH622 of famineH7458 in the landH776, and they will not 21endureH5375 the insultsH3639 of the nationsH1471 anymoreH5750. 30Then they will knowH3045 that 22I, the LordH3068 their GodH430, am with them, and that they, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are My peopleH5971,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 31“As for you, My 23sheepH6629, the 24sheepH6629 of My pastureH4830, you are menH120, and I am your GodH430,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
