Ezekiel 34:23-30
Living Bible

23 “And I will set one Shepherd over all my people, even my Servant David. He shall feed them and be a Shepherd to them.

24 “And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my Servant David shall be a Prince among my people. I, the Lord, have spoken it.

25 “I will make a peace pact with them and drive away the dangerous animals from the land, so that my people can safely camp in the wildest places and sleep safely in the woods. 26 I will make my people and their homes around my hill a blessing. And there shall be showers, showers of blessing, for I will not shut off the rains but send them in their seasons. 27 Their fruit trees and fields will yield bumper crops, and everyone will live in safety. When I have broken off their chains of slavery and delivered them from those who profiteered at their expense, they shall know I am the Lord. 28 No more will other nations conquer them nor wild animals attack. They shall live in safety and no one shall make them afraid.

29 “And I will raise up a notable Vine (the Messiah),[a] in Israel so that my people will never again go hungry nor be shamed by heathen conquest. 30 In this way they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they, the people of Israel, are my people,” says the Lord God.

  1. Ezekiel 34:29 a notable Vine (the Messiah), literally, “a plant of renown”; so perhaps the meaning is, “I will give them bumper crops.” Either translation is permissible, but the word for “plant” is in the singular.

Lexham English Bible

23 And I will set up over them one shepherd, and he will feed them; that is, my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be for them as[a] a shepherd. 24 And I, Yahweh, I will be for them as God,[b] and my servant David will be a leader in the midst of them. I, Yahweh, I have spoken. 25 And I will make them a covenant of peace, and I will put an end to wild animals[c] from the land, and they will dwell in the desert safely,[d] and they will sleep in the forest. 26 And I will make them and the area all around my hill a blessing, and I will let the rain go down at its appointed time;[e] they will be rains of blessing. 27 And the tree[f] of the field will give its fruit, and the land will give its produce, and they will be on their land safely,[g] and they will know that I am Yahweh when I break their yoke, and I will deliver them from the hand of the ones enslaving them. 28 And they will not be any longer plunder to the nations, and the animals of the land will not eat them, and they will dwell in safety,[h] and there will not be anyone frightening them. 29 And I will raise for them a garden plot[i] of renown, and they will no longer[j] be victims of famine in the land, and they will not bear any more the insult of the nations. 30 And they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them and they are my people, the house of Israel,” declares[k] the Lord Yahweh,
