Jeremiah 23 The Good Descendant 5“The days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will raise up a good descendant in David’s family. This descendant will be a king who will rule in a wise way. And he will do what is fair and right in the land. 6In his time Judah will be saved. 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: ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought Israel out of Egypt . . .’ 8But people will say something new: ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought 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.” Jude 1:20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit
