I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
I'm going to take care of them in the best places, up on Israel's beautiful mountains where they'll have everything they need. They'll rest in safety and eat well in these rich, green pastures across the mountains.
God's promising the best care in the best places for his people.
