Jeremiah 30:8-11

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

8 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.

9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

10 As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.

11 For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
