Ezekiel 34:25

34:25 “‘I will make a covenant of peace with them and will rid the land of wild beasts, so that they can live securely ⁵  in the wilderness and even sleep in the woods. ⁶ 

¹ tn Heb “drew my hand back.” This idiom also occurs in Lam 2:8 and Ps 74:11.

² tn Heb “I will cause your obscene conduct to cease from you and your harlotry from the land of Egypt.”

³ tn Heb “lift your eyes to them.”

³ tc Thus the Masoretic Text. The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate translate as though the Hebrew read “cause to inhabit.”

⁴ tn The phrase “live securely” occurs in Ezek 28:26; 38:8, 11, 14; 39:26 as an expression of freedom from fear. It is a promised blessing resulting from obedience (see Lev 26:5-6).

⁵ sn The woods were typically considered to be places of danger (Ps 104:20-21; Jer 5:6).
