Jeremiah 23:3-8

English Standard Version

^3 (A)Then I will gather the remnant of my flock ^(B)out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, ^(C)and they shall be fruitful and multiply. ^4 (D)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 (E)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous ^(F)Branch, and ^(G)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 ^(H)Israel will ^(I)dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ^(J)‘The Lord is our righteousness.’

^7 (K)“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^[a] had driven them.’ Then they shall dwell in their own land.”
