“I myself will gather the remnant(A) of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,(B) where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds(C) over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid(D) or terrified, nor will any be missing,(E)” declares the Lord.

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(F)
a King(G) who will reign(H) wisely
    and do what is just and right(I) in the land.
In his days Judah will be saved
    and Israel will live in safety.(J)
This is the name(K) by which he will be called:
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(L)

“So then, the days are coming,”(M) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(N) but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”(O)

  1. Jeremiah 23:5 Or up from David’s line

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
