Context of Jeremiah 30:10
8On that day — this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies — I will break his yoke from your neck and tear off your chains, and strangers will never again enslave him. 9They will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. As for you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid — this is the Lord’s declaration — and do not be discouraged, Israel, for without fail I will save you out of a distant place, your descendants, from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return and have calm and quiet with no one to frighten him. 11For I will be with you — this is the Lord’s declaration — to save you! I will bring destruction on all the nations where I have scattered you; however, I will not bring destruction on you. I will discipline you justly, and I will by no means leave you unpunished. 12For this is what the Lord says: Your injury is incurable; your wound most severe.
