(A)Then I will gather the remnant of my flock (B)out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, (C)and they shall be fruitful and multiply. (D)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.

(E)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous (F)Branch, and (G)he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and (H)Israel will (I)dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: (J)‘The Lord is our righteousness.’

(K)“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he[a] had driven them.’ Then they shall dwell in their own land.”

Lying Prophets

Concerning the prophets:

(L)My heart is broken within me;
    (M)all my bones shake;
I am like a drunken man,
    like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
    and because of his holy words.
10 (N)For the land is full of adulterers;
    (O)because of the curse (P)the land mourns,
    and (Q)the pastures of the wilderness are dried up.
(R)Their course is evil,
    and their might is not right.
