Context of Ezekiel 34:27
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. The 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.
