Jeremiah 23:6New International Reader's VersionIn his days Judah will be saved. Israel will live in safety. And the Branch will be called The Lord Who Makes Us Right With Himself. See the chapter |
“ ‘People of Jacob, do not be afraid. You are my servant. Israel, do not be terrified,’ ” announces the Lord. “ ‘You can be sure that I will save you. I will bring you out of a place far away. I will bring your children back from the land where they were taken. Your people will have peace and security again. And no one will make them afraid.
“The Lord has appointed 70 ‘weeks’ for your people and your holy city. During that time, acts against God’s law will be stopped. Sin will come to an end. And the evil things people do will be paid for. Then everyone will always do what is right. Everything that has been made known in visions and prophecies will come true. And the Most Holy Room in the temple will be anointed.
At that time I will make a covenant for the good of my people. I will make it with the wild animals and the birds in the sky. It will also be made with the creatures that move along the ground. I will remove bows and swords and other weapons of war from the land. Then my people can lie down in safety.
