Jeremiah 23:2-6

English Standard Version

² Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning ^(A)the shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. ^(B)Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord. ^3 (C)Then I will gather the remnant of my flock ^(D)out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, ^(E)and they shall be fruitful and multiply. ^4 (F)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 (G)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous ^(H)Branch, and ^(I)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 ^(J)Israel will ^(K)dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ^(L)‘The Lord is our righteousness.’
