bSo that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
‘Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed bfrom the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid.
bThough I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
cYet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you din justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’

Jeremiah 30:9
Instead of serving strangers (Jeremiah 30:8), they shall serve the Lord, their rightful King in the theocracy (Ezekiel 21:27).
David, their king—No king of David's seed has held the scepter since the captivity; for Zerubbabel, though of David's line, never claimed the title of "king." The Son of David, Messiah, must therefore be meant; so the Targum (compare Isaiah 55:3-4; Ezekiel 34:23-24; Ezekiel 37:24; Hosea 3:5; Romans 11:25-32). He was appointed to the throne of David (Isaiah 9:7; Luke 1:32). He is here joined with Jehovah as claiming equal allegiance. God is our "King," only when we are subject to Christ; God rules us not immediately, but through His Son (John 5:22-23, John 5:27).
raise up—applied to the judges whom God raised up as deliverers of Israel out of the hand of its oppressors (Judges 2:16; Judges 3:9). So Christ was raised up as the antitypical Deliverer (Psalms 2:6; Luke 1:69; Acts 2:30; Acts 13:23).
