Jeremiah 31:24

And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities
thereof together
In peace and unity, in great concord and harmony: husbandmen, and those [that] go forth with flocks;
husbandmen and shepherds; meaning such not merely in a temporal sense, but in a spiritual one; ministers of the Gospel, labourers with God, and under him, in the husbandry of his church; pastors after his own heart, to feed his people, his flocks, his sheep and lambs, with knowledge and understanding; who shall agree in their ministry, teaching the same doctrines, and administering the same ordinances, according to the rule of the word.
