4 I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the Lord.
5 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;A King shall reign and prosper,And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
6 In His days Judah will be saved,And Israel will dwell safely;Now this is His name by which He will be called:THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’
8 but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.”
9 My heart within me is brokenBecause of the prophets;All my bones shake.I am like a drunken man,And like a man whom wine has overcome,Because of the Lord,And because of His holy words.
10 For the land is full of adulterers;For because of a curse the land mourns.The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.Their course of life is evil,And their might is not right.
