Context of Jeremiah 30:20
18Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captives of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after its manner. 19And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as in former time, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 21And their nobles shall be from themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me? saith the LORD. 22And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
