Ezekiel 34:25-27

Contemporary English Version

A Bright Future for the Lord's Sheep

The Lord God said:

²⁵ The people of Israel are my sheep, and I solemnly promise that they will live in peace. I will chase away every wild animal from the desert and the forest, so my sheep will not be afraid. ²⁶ They will live around my holy mountain,^[a] and I will bless them by sending more than enough rain ²⁷ to make their trees produce fruit and their crops to grow. I will set them free from slavery and let them live safely in their own land. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
