Context of Jeremiah 30:10
8‘It shall come about on that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will break the yoke off your neck and I will tear off your bonds and force apart your shackles; and strangers will no longer make slaves of the people [of Israel]. 9But they shall serve the Lord their God and [the descendant of] David their King, whom I will raise up for them.
