As long as he lived, the people throughout Judah and Israel lived in safety, each family with its own grapevines and fig trees.

You punished your people, LORD, and in anguish they prayed to you.

When that day comes, each of you will invite your neighbor to come and enjoy peace and security, surrounded by your vineyards and fig trees."

Justice and right will make you strong. You will be safe from oppression and terror.

The LORD says, "The time is coming when I will choose as king a righteous descendant of David. That king will rule wisely and do what is right and just throughout the land.

When he is king, the people of Judah will be safe, and the people of Israel will live in peace. He will be called 'The LORD Our Salvation.'

I will make a covenant with them that guarantees their security. I will get rid of all the dangerous animals in the land, so that my sheep can live safely in the fields and sleep in the forests.

The heathen nations will not plunder them any more, and the wild animals will not kill and eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrify them.

You will decide to invade a helpless country where the people live in peace and security in unwalled towns that have no defenses.

When they are once more living in safety in their own land, with no one to threaten them, they will be able to forget how they were disgraced for having betrayed me.

But if you defy me, you are doomed to die. I, the LORD, have spoken."

Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it. The LORD himself has promised this."

then you will find the joy that comes from serving me. I will make you honored all over the world, and you will enjoy the land I gave to your ancestor, Jacob. I, the LORD, have spoken."
