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)
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)

(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”; 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.

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(A)

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)
