And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
They won't be picked off by other nations anymore, and wild animals won't hunt them down. They'll live in complete safety, no one will be able to touch them or make them scared.
God's protection means you get to live without looking over your shoulder.
