Jeremiah 3:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 I will appoint for you shepherds after my own heart,
who will shepherd you wisely and prudently.(A)
16 When you increase in number and are fruitful in the land—
oracle of the Lord—
They will in those days no longer say,
“The ark of the covenant of the Lord!”
They will no longer think of it, or remember it,
or miss it, or make another one.
17 At that time they will call Jerusalem “the Lord’s throne.” All nations will gather together there to honor the name of the Lord at Jerusalem, and they will no longer stubbornly follow their wicked heart.(B)
