Context of Jeremiah 30:22
20Jacob's descendants will be strong again, as they were long ago. They will serve me together as one group of people. I will punish anyone who wants to hurt them. 21One of their own people will rule them as king. I will ask him to come near to me, and he will come near. Nobody would be brave enough to come near to me, unless I asked him to come.’ That is what the Lord says. ‘At that time, you will again be my people, and I will be your God. ’ 23Look! The Lord's anger will come like a strong storm. Like a strong wind, it will blow away the heads of wicked people. 24The Lord will not stop being angry, until he has finished what he has decided to do. When the time comes, you will understand this clearly.
