25 And I will make them a covenant of peace, and I will put an end to wild animals[a] from the land, and they will dwell in the desert safely,[b] 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;[c] they will be rains of blessing. 27 And the tree[d] of the field will give its fruit, and the land will give its produce, and they will be on their land safely,[e] 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,[f] and there will not be anyone frightening them. 29 And I will raise for them a garden plot[g] of renown, and they will no longer[h] 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[i] the Lord Yahweh, 31 “and you are my flock, the flock of my pasture. You are my people;[j] I am your God,” declares[k] the Lord Yahweh.’”
