Jeremiah 23:5-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord—
when I will raise up a righteous branch for David;
As king he shall reign and govern wisely,
he shall do what is just and right in the land.(A)
6 In his days Judah shall be saved,
Israel shall dwell in security.
This is the name to be given him:
“The Lord our justice.”(B)
7 (C)Therefore, the days are coming—oracle of the Lord—when they shall no longer say, “As the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt”; 8 but rather, “As the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of the house of Israel up from the land of the north”—and from all the lands to which I banished them; they shall again live on their own soil.

Jeremiah 23:5-8
New International Version
5 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(A)
a King(B) who will reign(C) wisely
and do what is just and right(D) in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.(E)
This is the name(F) by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(G)
7 “So then, the days are coming,”(H) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(I) 8 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.”(J)
