24. I, the Lord, will be their God, and a king like my servant David will be their ruler. I have spoken.
25. I will make a covenant with them that guarantees their security. I will get rid of all the dangerous animals in the land, so that my sheep can live safely in the fields and sleep in the forests.
26. “I will bless them and let them live round my sacred hill. There I will bless them with showers of rain when they need it.
27. The trees will bear fruit, the fields will produce crops, and everyone will live in safety on his own land. When I break my people's chains and set them free from those who made them slaves, then they will know that I am the Lord.
