Jeremiah reassured a hopeless people that God would really bring the Messiah, the righteous branch to spring forth from the line of David. Jeremiah 33:14-16 (New International Version)
" 'The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
" 'In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line;
he will do what is just and right in the land.
In those days Judah will be saved
and Jerusalem will live in safety.
This is the name by which it will be called:
The LORD Our Righteousness.'
