Ezekiel 34:24

God's presence Identity and self-worth Jesus Christ

²² I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.

²³ I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and be their shepherd.

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.

²⁶ I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season—showers of blessing.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
