Jeremiah 23:1-3

Good News Translation

Hope for the Future

23 How terrible will be the Lord's judgment on those rulers who destroy and scatter his people! ² This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the rulers who were supposed to take care of his people: “You have not taken care of my people; you have scattered them and driven them away. Now I am going to punish you for the evil you have done. ³ I will gather the rest of my people from the countries where I have scattered them, and I will bring them back to their homeland. They will have many children and increase in number.
