Context of Ezekiel 34:26

24I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken! 25“‘I will make a covenant of peace with them and will rid the land of wild beasts, so that they can live securely in the wilderness and even sleep in the woods. I will turn them and the regions around my hill into a blessing. I will make showers come down in their season; they will be showers that bring blessing. 27The trees of the field will yield their fruit and the earth will yield its crops. They will live securely on their land; they will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 28They will no longer be prey for the nations and the wild beasts will not devour them. They will live securely and no one will make them afraid.
