Jeremiah 30:21

Jesus Christ

19 Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.

20 Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.

Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?” declares the LORD.

22 “And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”

23 Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
