Jason:

They are nearly identical?

‏Jeremiah 23:5: הנה ימים באים נאם־יהוה והקמתי לדוד צמח צדיק ומלך מלך והשׂכיל
ועשׂה משׁפט וצדקה בארץ׃
‏Jeremiah 23:6: בימיו תושׁע יהודה וישׂראל ישׁכן לבטח וזה־שׁמו א‍שׁר־יקראו
יהוה ׀ צדקנו׃

‏Jeremiah 33:6: הנני מעלה־לה ארכה ומרפא ורפאתים וגליתי להם עתרת שׁלום ואמת׃

The quotes above are from copy and paste from MacSword WLC. Did you give the
