20. “Therefore, this is what the Lord God says to them: See, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
21. Since you have pushed with flank and shoulder and butted all the weak ones with your horns until you scattered them all over,
22. I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey for you. I will judge between one sheep and another.
23. I will appoint over them a single shepherd, My servant David, and he will shepherd them. He will tend them himself and will be their shepherd.
24. I, Yahweh, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, Yahweh, have spoken.
25. “I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate dangerous animals in the land, so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.
26. I will make them and the area around My hill a blessing: I will send down showers in their season — showers 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.
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, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land. They will no longer endure the insults of the nations.
30. Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people.” 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.
