Context of Jeremiah 30:19
17I’ll restore your health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord. “People call you an outcast: Zion, no one cares for you. 18“This is what the Lord says: I’m going to bring the captives back to Jacob’s tents and show compassion on their homes. Cities will be built on the ruins, and fortified palaces will be built in their rightful place. The people who live there will sing songs of praise, and the sound of laughter will be heard from there. I’ll make them numerous, and their number won’t decrease. I’ll bring them honor, and they won’t be considered unimportant. 20Their children will be like they were long ago. Their community will be established in my presence, and I will punish everyone who oppresses them. 21Their leader will be someone from their own people. Their ruler will come from among them. I’ll bring him near, and he will come close to me. Who would dare to come near me?” asks the Lord.
