Jeremiah 23:5-8
“I will raise up for David a righteous Branch.”
A reading from the Book of Jeremiah
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up for 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 will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ‘The LORD is our righteousness.’ “therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when men shall no longer say, ‘As the LORD lives who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but ‘As the LORD lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he has driven them.’ Then they shall dwell in their own land.”
V/ The word of the Lord.
R/ Thanks be to God.
