Jeremiah 23:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 23:5

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.”

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.
