Ezechiel 34:20-29 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

20. Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.

21. Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:

22. I will save my dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

23. AND I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

24. And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.

25. And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.

26. And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.

27. And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.

28. And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without any terror.

29. And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.
