Jeremiah 23:3-5

Common English Bible

³ I myself will gather the few remaining sheep from all the countries where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. ⁴ I will place over them shepherds who care for them. Then they will no longer be afraid or dread harm, nor will any be missing, declares the Lord.

Promise of a righteous and just king

⁵ The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up a righteous descendant^[a] from David’s line, and he will rule as a wise king. He will do what is just and right in the land.
