Jeremiah:23:1-8

*
Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture !
says LORD .
*
Therefore thus says LORD ,
the God of Israel ,
against the shepherds who feed my people :
Ye have scattered my flock ,
and driven them away ,
and have not visited them .
Behold ,
I will visit upon you the evil of your doings ,
says LORD .
*
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them ,
and will bring them again to their folds ,
and they shall be fruitful and multiply .
*
And I will set up shepherds over them who shall feed them .
And they shall fear no more ,
nor be dismayed .
Neither shall any be lacking ,
says LORD .
*
Behold ,
the days come ,
says LORD ,
that I will raise to David a righteous Branch ,
and he shall reign as king and deal wisely ,
and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land .
*
In his days Judah shall be saved ,
and Israel shall dwell safely .
And this is his name by which he shall be called :
LORD our righteousness .
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days come ,
says LORD ,
that they shall no more say ,
As LORD lives ,
who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt ,
*
but ,
As LORD lives ,
who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country ,
and from all the countries where I had driven them .
And they shall dwell in their own land .
