Ezekiel 34:25

Peace Protection and safety Covenant and promises Fear

²³ 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.

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.

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. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hands that enslaved them.

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