The Righteous Branch

Jeremiah 23

1 u "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!" declares the Lord. 2 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning u the shepherds who care for my people: "You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. v Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord. 3 w Then I will gather the remnant of my flock x out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, y and they shall be fruitful and multiply. 4 z I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.

5 a "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous b Branch, and c he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In his days Judah will be saved, and d Israel will e dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: f 'The Lord is our righteousness.'

7 g "Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when they shall no longer say, 'As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,' 8 but 'As the Lord lives who brought up and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he 1 had driven them.' Then they shall dwell in their own land."
