Jeremiah Psalm 23

I don't know if anyone else has ever seen this, but this is extraordinary. The first six verses of Jeremiah 23 and Psalm 23 are talking to each other. I have put the first verse of the psalm after the first verse of Jeremiah and so on...it's beautiful!


"Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!" says the Lord


The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.


"Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherds who feed my people: "You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings," says the Lord.


He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.


"But I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase."


He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake


"I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking," says the Lord


Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.


"Behold the days are coming," says the Lord, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgement and righteousness in the earth"


You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.


"In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."


Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
