Ezekiel 34:22-31

22So I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be abused. I will judge between one animal of the flock and another.

23And I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David. He will feed them and be a shepherd to them.

24And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be a prince among my people. I, the Lord, have spoken!

25“I will make a covenant of peace with my people and drive away the dangerous animals from the land. Then they will be able to camp safely in the wildest places and sleep in the woods without fear.

26I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing.

27The orchards and fields of my people will yield bumper crops, and everyone will live in safety. When I have broken their chains of slavery and rescued them from those who enslaved them, then they will know that I am the Lord.

28They will no longer be prey for other nations, and wild animals will no longer devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will frighten them.

29“And I will make their land famous for its crops, so my people will never again suffer from famines or the insults of foreign nations.

30In this way, they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them. And they will know that they, the people of Israel, are my people, says the Sovereign Lord.

31You are my flock, the sheep of my pasture. You are my people, and I am your God. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”
