Jeremiah 23:5Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingLo! days come, saith the Lord, and I shall raise a just [or rightwise] burgeoning, either seed, to David; and he shall reign a king, and he shall be wise, and he shall make doom and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] in earth. See the chapter |
Forsooth a little child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and prince-hood is made [up] on his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, A counsellor, God, Strong, Father of the world to coming, A prince of peace, [or Marvellous, Counsellor, God, Strong, Father of the world to come, Prince of peace].
His empire shall be multiplied, and none end shall be of his peace; he shall sit on the seat of David, and on the realm of him, that he confirm it, and make strong in doom and rightfulness [or rightwiseness], from henceforth and till into without end. The fervent love of the Lord of hosts shall make this.
The Lord saith these things, Do ye doom, and rightfulness [or right-wiseness], and deliver ye him that is oppressed by violence from the hand of the false challenger; and do not ye make sorry, neither oppress ye wickedly a comeling, and a fatherless child, and a widow, and shed ye not out innocent blood in this place.
Seventy weeks of years be abridged on thy people, and on thine holy city, that trespassing be ended, and sin take an end, and that wickedness be done away, and everlasting right-fulness [or rightwiseness] be brought, and that the vision and prophecy be [ful] filled, and the Holy Place of saints be anointed.
