Jeremiah 23:5-6
These scriptures focus on the Branch as King, descending from David, making righteous judgments, ruling, and causing peace and security. Thus Revelation 19:16 calls Him, "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
