Jeremiah

Jeremiah 23:4–5

4I will raise up shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or dismayed, nor will any go missing, declares the LORD.

5Behold, the days are coming,

declares the LORD,

when I will raise up for Davida

a righteous Branch,

and He will reign wisely as King

and will administer justice and righteousness in the land.
