Context of Jeremiah 30:23

21One of their own people will be their leader. Their ruler will come from their own number. I will invite him to approach me, and he will do so. For no one would dare approach me on his own. I, the Lord, affirm it! 22Then you will again be my people and I will be your God. Just watch! The wrath of the Lord will come like a storm. Like a raging storm it will rage down on the heads of those who are wicked. 24The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he has fully carried out his intended purposes. In days to come you will come to understand this.
