The Branch of Righteousness

1 “Woe ato the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” says the Lord.  
2 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: “You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. aBehold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings,” says the Lord.  
3 “But aI will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.  
4 I will set up ashepherds 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, athe days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and1 prosper,
bAnd execute1 judgment and righteousness in the2 earth. 
6 aIn His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel bwill dwell safely;
Now cthis is His name by which He will be called: 1THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.  
7 “Therefore, behold, athe 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 aand from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own bland.” 

False Prophets and Empty Oracles

9 My heart within me is broken
Because of the prophets;
aAll 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 athe land is full of adulterers;
For bbecause of a curse the land mourns.
cThe pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.
Their course of life is evil,
And their might is not right.
