³“I myself will gather the remnant^y of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,^z where they will be fruitful and increase in number. ⁴I will place shepherds^a over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid^b or terrified, nor will any be missing,^c” declares the Lord.

⁵“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“when I will raise up for David^a a righteous Branch,^d

a King^e who will reign^f wisely

and do what is just and right^g in the land.

⁶In his days Judah will be saved

and Israel will live in safety.^h

This is the nameⁱ by which he will be called:

The Lord Our Righteous Savior.^j

⁷“So then, the days are coming,”^k declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’^l ⁸but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”^m
