Jeremiah
Chapters 23:5-11
Revised Version 1885
5Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute judgment and justice in the land.
6In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.
7Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, As the Lord liveth, which brought up the Children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8but, As the Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
9Concerning the prophets. Mine heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of the Lord, and because of his holy words.
10For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is evil, and their force is not right,
11for both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
