* "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture !" says the LORD . * Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people : "You have scattered My flock , driven them away , and not attended to them . Behold , I will attend to you for the evil of your doings ," says the LORD . * "But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them , and bring them back to their folds ; and they shall be fruitful and increase . * I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them ; and they shall fear no more , nor be dismayed , nor shall they be lacking ," says the LORD . * "Behold , the days are coming ," says the LORD , "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness ; A King shall reign and prosper , And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth . * In His days Judah will be saved , And Israel will dwell safely ; Now this is His name by which He will be called : THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS . * "Therefore , behold , 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 ,' * but , "As the LORD lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them .' And they shall dwell in their own land ."
