A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.

The days are coming, says our God, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and Judah.  In those days, at that time, I will raise up for David a just shoot who shall do what is right and just in the land. In those days Judah shall be safe and Jerusalem shall dwell secure; this is what they shall call it: “The Most High our justice”.

The Word of God recorded in the book of Jeremiah.
