Ezekiel 34 — Context

Because of this, thus says the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself am judging between the fat cattle and the lean.

For you have pushed with your sides and shoulders, and you have threatened all the weak cattle with your horns, until they were scattered abroad.

I will save my flock, and it will no longer be a prey, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

And I will raise up over them ONE SHEPHERD, who will feed them, my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

And I, the Lord, will be their God. And my servant David will be the leader in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.

And I will make a covenant of peace with them. And I will cause the very harmful beasts to cease from the land. And those who are living in the desert will sleep securely in the forests.

And I will make them a blessing all around my hill. And I will send the rain in due time; there will be showers of blessing.
