“Behold (listen closely), the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch;
And He will reign as King and act wisely
And will do [those things that accomplish] justice and righteousness in the land.

And Israel will dwell safely;
Now this is His name by which He will be called;
‘The Lord Our Righteousness.’(A)
