The Lord Our Righteous Savior is his name

Jeremiah 23:1-22
The days are coming,” declares the Lord   “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely   and do what is just and right in the land.  This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior. He is Jesus Christ.
They will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.
Both prophet and priest are godless;  even in my temple I find their wickedness, declares the Lord.
Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;    they fill you with false hopes.They speak visions from their own minds,    not from the mouth of the Lord.
The government  and religious leaders alike a stinging rebuke, Misrule , and the lies pronounced in God's name, will not go unpunished.
Then comes 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.
Verse 9-40 address the prophets. Those in the northern kingdom had served Baal. But in Judah the prophets are all as bad as the people of Sodom and Gomorah.
Why>
Prophet should say the word of God, when they deliver their own word, they are not prophet of God but lier to people. 
Be awre all servant of the Lord, do what is right and careful to teach people by God's truth. Do not say the 'peace' only but rutn their heart to the Lord. Deliver good news of Jesus Christ is their savior.
How?
I am a servant of the Lord, so there is not my word but only the word of the Lord will be deliver to others.
