Ezekiel 34:25-31
English Standard Version
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.”

Holman Christian Standard Bible
25 “I will make a covenant of peace(A) with them and eliminate dangerous animals(B) in the land, so that they may live securely(C) in the wilderness and sleep in the forest. 26 I will make them and the area around My hill(D) a blessing: I will send down showers in their season(E)—showers[a] of blessing. 27 The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock will be secure in their land. They will know that I am Yahweh when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslave them.(F) 28 They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the wild animals of the land will not consume them. They will live securely, and no one will frighten them. 29 I will establish for them a place renowned for its agriculture,[b] and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land. They will no longer endure the insults of the nations.(G) 30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people.”(H) This is the declaration of the Lord God. 31 “You are My flock, the human flock of My pasture, and I am your God.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.(I)
