Ezekiel 34:23
21 Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,
22 I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.
I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and be their shepherd.
24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.
25 I will make with them a covenant of peace and rid the land of wild animals, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
