Jeremiah 30:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹The cities will be filled with joy and great thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people and make of them a great and honored nation. ²⁰Their children shall prosper as in David’s reign; their nations shall be established before me, and I will punish anyone who hurts them. ²¹They will have their own ruler again.^[a] He will not be a foreigner. And I will invite him to be a priest at my altars, and he shall approach me, for who would dare to come unless invited.

Jeremiah 30:21 They will have their own ruler again. This verse probably refers to the restoration after the Babylonian captivity (the rulers of the Maccabean period were priests as well as kings) as well as to the final restoration under Christ.
