25 “‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing. 27 The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them. 28 They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid. 29 I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more. 30 They will know that I, Yahweh, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yahweh. 31 You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

The Lord's Covenant of Peace

25 (A)“I will make with them a covenant of peace and (B)banish wild beasts from the land, (C)so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 And I will make them and the places all around my hill (D)a blessing, and (E)I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be (F)showers of blessing. 27 (G)And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, (H)and they shall be secure in their land. And (I)they shall know that I am the Lord, when (J)I break the bars of their yoke, and (K)deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 28 (L)They shall no more be a prey to the nations, (M)nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. (N)They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. 29 And I will provide for them (O)renowned plantations so that (P)they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer (Q)suffer the reproach of the nations. 30 And they shall know that (R)I am the Lord their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God. 31 And you are my sheep, (S)human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
