5 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up a righteous descendant from David’s line, and he will rule as a wise king. He will do what is just and right in the land.
6 During his lifetime, Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And his name will be The Lord Is Our Righteousness.
7 So the time is coming, declares the Lord, when no one will say, "As the Lord lives who brought up the Israelites from the land of Egypt."
8 Instead, they will say, "As the Lord lives who brought up the descendants of the people of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where he has banished them so that they can live in their own land."
9 As for the prophets:My heart inside me is broken;my body aches.I stagger like a drunkwho has had too much wine to drink,because of the Lordand because of God’s holy words.
10 Because the country teemswith adulterers,because of them,yes, because their might isn’t rightand their way is evil,the land dries up,and the grazing areas in the wilderness wither.
11 Both prophet and priest are godless;I even find their evil in my temple,declares the Lord.
