Context
The Lord Will Restore Israel and Judah
30:18 The Lord says , “I will restore the ruined houses of the descendants of Jacob . I will show compassion on their ruined homes . Every city will be rebuilt on its former ruins . Every fortified dwelling will occupy its traditional site .
30:19 Out of those places you will hear songs of thanksgiving and the sounds of laughter and merriment . I will increase their number and they will not dwindle away . I will bring them honor and they will no longer be despised .
30:20 The descendants of Jacob will enjoy their former privileges. Their community will be reestablished in my favor and I will punish all who try to oppress them.
30:21 One 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!
30:22 Then you will again be my people and I will be your God .
30:23 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 .
30:24 The 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.
31:1 At that time I will be the God of all the clans of Israel and they will be my people . I, the Lord , affirm it!”
