Jeremiah 23:3-8

NSB(i) 3 »Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and bring them back to their pasture. Then they will be fruitful and multiply. 4 »I will also raise up shepherds over them who will tend them. They will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing, proclaims Jehovah. 5 »The days are coming,« declares Jehovah, »when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch. He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. 6 »In His days Judah will be saved. Israel will dwell securely. This is his name by which he will be called, Jehovah Is Our Righteousness. 7 »Therefore the days are coming,« declares Jehovah, »when they will no longer say, ‘As Jehovah lives, the one who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.’ 8 »‘Instead, ‘Jehovah lives, the one who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the northland and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will live on their own soil.’«
