“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and1 prosper,
bAnd execute1 judgment and righteousness in the2 earth.
And Israel bwill dwell safely;
Now cthis is His name by which He will be called: 1THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
False Prophets and Empty Oracles
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.
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.
