Ezekiel 34:28-30
New English Translation
28 They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the wild beasts will not devour them. They will live securely, and no one will make them afraid. 29 I will prepare for them a healthy[a] planting. They will no longer be victims[b] of famine in the land and will no longer bear the insults of the nations. 30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them,[c] and that they are my people, the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.[d]
