The Righteous Branch

• 5 are coming,”[fn] Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous branch,
• and he will reign as king, and he will achieve success,
  • and he will do justice and righteousness in the land.
  • 6  and Israel will dwell[fn]
• and this is his name by which he will be called:
  • ‘Yahweh is our righteousness.’

7 “Therefore[fn] look, daysare coming,” declares[fn] Yahweh, “when they will no longer say, ‘As Yahweh lives,[fn] who led up theIsraelites[fn] from the land of Egypt,’ 8 but ‘As Yahweh lives,[fn] who led up, and who brought the offspring of the house of Israel fromthe land of the north and from all the lands where he had driven them.’ Then they will live in their land.”
