‏ Jeremiah 23:5

v. 5–6: God promises to send the Messiah, the perfect King from David’s family. He says, Behold, the days are coming… when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch (Jeremiah 23:5 a). This King will rule wisely and do what is just and right. In His days, God’s people will be saved and live in safety. His name will be called The Lord our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6 b). This means that Jesus, the Messiah, will be both God and the one who makes us right with God. He brings true justice and salvation to all who trust in Him (Psalm 132:17–18; Revelation 22:16 c).
