1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” declares the LORD {YHWH}. 2 Therefore this is what the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), says about the shepherds who tend My people: “You⁺ have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you⁺ for the evil of your⁺ deeds, declares the LORD. 3 Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock from all the lands to which I have banished them, and I will return them to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and multiply. 4 I will raise up shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or dismayed, nor will any go missing, declares the LORD {YHWH}. 5 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD {YHWH}, when I will raise up for David (up for David’s line) a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In His days Judah (praised) will be saved, and Israel (he wrestles with God) will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness {YHWH Tsidqenu}. Jeremiah 23:1-6, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
