Jeremiah 23:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² You were supposed to take care of my people, but instead you chased them away. So now I'll punish you severely and make you pay for your crimes!

³ I will bring the rest of my people home from the lands where I have scattered them, and they will grow into a mighty nation. ⁴ I promise to choose leaders who will care for them like real shepherds. All of my people will be there, and they will never again be frightened.
