[Old Testament] Jeremiah 23:5-6

The Righteous Branch of David 

5 “Look, the days are coming”—this is the Lord’s declaration—

“when I will raise up a Righteous Branch for David.

He will reign wisely as king

and administer justice and righteousness in the land.

6 In his days Judah will be saved,

and Israel will dwell securely.

This is the name he will be called:

The Lord Is Our Righteousness.”

[Old Testament] Jeremiah 33:14-16

God’s Covenant with David

14 “Look, the days are coming”—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

“when I will fulfill the good promise

that I have spoken

concerning the house of Israel

and the house of Judah.

15 In those days and at that time

I will cause a Righteous Branch

to sprout up for David,

and he will administer justice

and righteousness in the land.

16 In those days Judah will be saved,

and Jerusalem will dwell securely,

and this is what she will be named:

The Lord Is Our Righteousness."

[Old Testament] Isaiah 11:10
10 On that day the root of Jesse [the Messiah]
will stand as a banner for the peoples.
The nations will look to him for guidance,
and his resting place will be glorious.
