Jeremiah 23:1-6

“How terrible it will be for the leaders of Judah, who are scattering and destroying my people,” says the LORD. They are responsible for the people, so the LORD, the God of Israel, says to them: “You have scattered my people and forced them away and not taken care of them. So I will punish you for the evil things you have done,” says the LORD. “I sent my people to other countries, but I will gather those who are left alive and bring them back to their own country. Then they will have many children and grow in number. I will place new leaders over my people, who will take care of them. And my people will not be afraid or terrified again, and none of them will be lost,” says the LORD. “The days are coming,” says the LORD, “when I will raise up a good branch in David’s family. He will be a king who will rule in a wise way; he will do what is fair and right in the land. In his time Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety. This will be his name: The LORD Does What Is Right.
