3 “Then I Myself will agather the remnant of My flock out of all the land where I have banished them and cause them to return to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. 4 I will also raise up ashepherds over them, and they will shepherd them; and they will bnot be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, cnor will any be left unattended,” declares Yahweh.
5 “Behold, the adays are coming,” declares Yahweh,
“When I will raise up for David a righteous bBranch;
And He will creign as king and prosper
And ddo justice and righteousness in the land.
6 In His days Judah will be saved,
And aIsrael will dwell securely;
And this is His bname by which He will be called,
‘cYahweh our righteousness.’
7 “aTherefore behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when they will no longer say, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ 8 abut, ‘As Yahweh lives, who bbrought up and brought back the seed of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the lands where I had banished them.’ Then they will live on their own soil.”
