5. Some day I will appointan honest kingfrom the family of David,a king who will be wiseand rule with justice.
6. As long as he is king,Israel will have peace,and Judah will be safe.The name of this king will be“The Lord Gives Justice”.
7. A time will come when you will again worship me. But you will no longer call me the Living God who rescued Israel from Egypt.
8. Instead, you will call me the Living God who rescued you from the land in the north and from all the other countries where I had forced you to go. And you will once again live in your own land.
9. When I think of the prophets,I am shocked, and I tremblelike someone drunk,because of the Lordand his sacred words.
