Jeremiah 30:19-21
Living Bible
19 The cities will be filled with joy and great thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people and make of them a great and honored nation. 20 Their children shall prosper as in David’s reign; their nations shall be established before me, and I will punish anyone who hurts them. 21 They 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.

New International Version
19 From them will come songs(A) of thanksgiving(B)
and the sound of rejoicing.(C)
I will add to their numbers,(D)
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(E)
and they will not be disdained.
20 Their children(F) will be as in days of old,
and their community will be established(G) before me;
I will punish(H) all who oppress them.
21 Their leader(I) will be one of their own;
their ruler will arise from among them.(J)
I will bring him near(K) and he will come close to me—
for who is he who will devote himself
to be close to me?’
declares the Lord.
