Jeremiah 23: The Book of Jeremiah, Catholic Bible Study, Daily readings for Mass, Fr. Tim Peters
Book of Jeremiah 23,5-8.
Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David; as king he shall reign and govern wisely, he shall do what is just and right in the land.
In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give him: "The LORD our justice."
Therefore, the days will come, says the LORD, when they shall no longer say, "As the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt";
but rather, "As the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of the house of Israel up from the land of the north"--and from all the lands to which I banished them; they shall again live on their own land.
Psalms 72(71),1-2.12-13.18-19.
O God, with your judgment endow the king,
and with your justice, the king's son;
He shall govern your people with justice
and your afflicted ones with judgment.
For he shall rescue the poor when he cries out,
And the afflicted when he has no one to help him.
He shall have pity for the lowly and the poor;
The lives of the poor he shall save.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
Who alone does wondrous deeds.
And blessed forever be his glorious name;
May the whole earth be filled with his glory.
