Jeremiah 23:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 23:3

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.
