This land

Jeremiah 23:1-15
The Lord will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.
There were many shepherds who have scattered my flock and driven them away and bestow care on them, so the Lord will bestow賜給punishment on them for the evil them have done.
The prophets were lying and let the land full of adulterers; because of the curse the land lies parched ad the pastures in the desert are withered.
The Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets: " I will make them eat bitter food ad drink poisoned water, because from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land."
The prophets who in the northern kingdom had served Baal. That was bad enough. But in Judah the prophets are all as bad as the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Why?
The government and religious leaders alike receive a stinging rebuke. Misrule, and the lies pronounced in God;s name, will not go unpunished.
Then come a wonderful promise. One day God will set on the throne a king of his own choice. The deliverance from exile will put the old exodus from Egypt into the shade.
The land is bestowed from the Lord, when people full of adulterers, the Lord will drive them all out of the Lord.
Shepherds and prophets are servants of the Lord, they should do their job to tend the sheep of God and proclaim God's word.
How?
May the Lord gives just and right in the land. May the population turn to the Lord throughout the land. Doing just and right is my obligation.
