22 So I will rescue my sheep, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.
23 Then I will place one shepherd over them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.
24 I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be their prince. I, the Lord, have spoken.
25 “‘I will promise them peace. I will remove the wild animals from the land so that my sheep can live safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
26 I will bless them and the places around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. These showers will be a blessing to them.
27 Then the trees in the field will produce fruit, the land will yield crops, and my sheep will live safely in their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, because I will break off the bars on their yokes and rescue them from the people who made them slaves.
28 They will no longer be prey to the nations, and the wild animals will no longer eat them. They will live safely, and no one will frighten them.
