Jeremiah 23:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷“The time is coming,” says the Lord, “when people will no longer swear by me as the living God who brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt. ⁸Instead, they will swear by me as the living God who brought the people of Israel out of a northern land and out of all the other countries where I had scattered them. Then they will live in their own land.”

Jeremiah's Message about the Prophets

⁹My heart is crushed,
    and I am trembling.
Because of the Lord,
    because of his holy words,
    I am like a man who is drunk,
    someone who has had too much wine.
