Jeremiah 23:6

Israel shall dwell safely Cp. Deuteronomy 33:28. The Northern Tribes as well as Judah shall be restored, and form one kingdom.

he shall be called The Messiah's work shall be indicated by the name that He is to bear.

The Lord is our righteousness as indicating the ideal righteousness which is then to characterize the nation. Cp. Isaiah 1:26; Isaiah 60:21; Isaiah 61:3. Of that righteousness Jehovah is to be the source. Cp. Ezekiel 48:35 "The Lord is there," mg. Jehovah-shammah. Cp. also Jeremiah 33:16, where the same name is given to Jerusalem. The A.V. (" The Lord our righteousness") survives in R.V. mg. but, as we see must be the case from the passage last referred to, the prophet is not identifying the Messiah with Jehovah.
