Context of Jeremiah 30:10
8"And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him. 9But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

I will discipline you in just measure, and I will by no means leave you unpunished. 12"For thus says the Lord: Your hurt is incurable, and your wound is grievous.
