Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this {is the name} wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. {The LORD...: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}

For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; {David...: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}

Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
