New English Translation
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] 31 And you, my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are my people,[e] and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
