23“Then I will 1appointH6965 overH5921 them oneH259 2shepherdH7462, My servantH5650 3DavidH1732, 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 4DavidH1732 will be princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LordH3068 have spokenH1696.

25“And I will makeH3772 a 5covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 with them and 6eliminateH7673 harmfulH7451 animalsH2421 from the landH776, so that they may 7liveH3427 securelyH983 in the wildernessH4057 and sleepH3462 in the woodsH3293. 26I will makeH5414 them and the placesH5439 aroundH5439 My hillH1389 a 8blessingH1293. And I will make 9showersH1653 fallH3381 in their seasonH6256; they will be showersH1653 of 10blessingH1293. 27Also the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 will yieldH5414 its fruitH6529 and the earthH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981, and they will be 11secureH983 on their landH127. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I have 12brokenH7665 the barsH4133 of their yokeH5923 and have savedH5337 them from the handH3027 of those who enslavedH5647 them. 28They will noH3808 longerH5750 be plunderH957 to the nationsH1471, and the animalsH2421 of the earthH776 will not devourH398 them; but they will 13liveH3427 securelyH983, and noH369 oneH369 will makeH2729 them afraidH2729. 29I will establishH6965 for them a 14renownedH8034 plantingH4302 placeH4302, and they will 15not againH5750 be 16victimsH622 of famineH7458 in the landH776, and they will not 17endureH5375 the insultsH3639 of the nationsH1471 anymoreH5750. 30Then they will knowH3045 that 18I, 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 19sheepH6629, 20the 21sheepH6629 of My pastureH4830, you are mankindH120, and I am your GodH430,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
