Jeremiah 23:5-8
New King James Version
5 “Behold, (A)the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and [a]prosper,
(B)And execute [b]judgment and righteousness in the [c]earth.
6 (C)In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel (D)will dwell safely;
Now (E)this is His name by which He will be called:
[d]THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 “Therefore, behold, (F)the 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 (G)and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own (H)land.”
