A Message of Hope The LORD said:Jeremiah 23 You leaders of my people are like shepherds that kill and scatter the sheep. 2You were supposed to take care of my people, but instead you chased them away. So now I'll really take care of you, and believe me, you will pay for your crimes!  3I will bring the rest of my people home from the lands where I have scattered them, and they will grow into a mighty nation.
4I promise to choose leaders who will care for them like real shepherds. All of my people will be there, and they will never again be frightened.
 5Someday I will appoint
an honest king
 from the family of David,
 a king who will be wise
and rule with justice.
6As 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."
7A time will come when you will again worship me. But you will no longer call me the Living God who rescued Israel from Egypt.
8Instead, 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.
