²⁵ “I will make a ^(A)covenant of peace with them and ^(B)eliminate harmful beasts from the land so that they may ^(C)live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. ²⁶ I will make them and the places around My hill a ^(D)blessing. And I will cause ^(E)showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of ^(F)blessing. ²⁷ Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be ^(G)secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have ^(H)broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. ²⁸ They will no longer be a prey to the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not devour them; but they will ^(I)live securely, and no one will make them afraid.

^8 (A)After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been ^(B)gathered from many ^[a]nations to the ^(C)mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but ^[b]its people were brought out from the ^[c]nations, and they are ^(D)living securely, all of them.
