Context of Jeremiah 30:21

19Thanksgiving will come out of them, a sound of rejoicing. I will multiply them, and they will not decrease; I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant. 20His children will be as in past days; his congregation will be established in my presence. I will punish all his oppressors. Jacob’s leader will be one of them; his ruler will issue from him. I will invite him to me, and he will approach me, for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me? This is the Lord’s declaration. 22You will be my people, and I will be your God. 23Look, a storm from the Lord! Wrath has gone out, a churning storm. It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.
