Ezekiel 36:37

This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep

From Background Notes [BN] for Apr 30th & May 1st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

There is a dual implication in the use of "sheep" ― one which we cannot escape. Yes, Israel had been like sheep "led to the slaughter" of exile. And, yes...



...Israel had lost their way, sheep wandering without a shepherd and outside their land, lacking pasture. But God has reversed their fortunes and brought them back into their land even though they have not repented nor turned back to Him. He will now place into their hearts a new spirit of prayer which asks not for their own sake, but for His. "Let us be, O Lord, your living sacrifices and offerings of service. Let us become your sheep again whose sacrifice of service brings light to the nations and restores the honor of Your Name." [BN,18]
