## Jeremiah 23:2-4 in Context (Verses 1–7 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/1) Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/2) Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/3) And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/4) And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/5) ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/6) In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this *is* his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/7) Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
