5. “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.
6. In his time Judah will be saved,and Israel will live in safety.This will be his name:The Lord Does What Is Right.
7. “So the days are coming,” says the Lord, “when people will not say again: ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought Israel out of Egypt . . . ’
8. But people will say something new: ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where he had sent them away . . . ’ Then the people of Israel will live in their own land.”
