Jeremiah 30:18-22

Jacob's Trouble and the Promise of Restoration

The chapter moves from the command to write restoration words, to the promise of return for Israel and Judah, to the terror of Jacob's trouble, to deliverance from foreign yoke, to healing of the incurable wound, and finally to covenant restoration under a ruler who draws near to the LORD.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

18 This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.

19 Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.

20 Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.

21 Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?” declares the LORD.

22 “And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
