Reading I Jer 33:14-16

The days are coming, says the LORD, 
    when I will fulfill the promise

In those days, in that time, 
    I will raise up for David a just shoot ; 
    he 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 her: 
    “The LORD our justice.”
