Jeremiah 30:3

For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah - the restoration not merely of the Jews (treated of in this Jeremiah 30:1), but also of the ten tribes ("Israel," treated of in Jeremiah 31:1), together forming the whole nation (; ; ; Amos 9:14). "Israel" is mentioned first, because its exile was longer than that of Judah. Some captives of the Israelite ten tribes returned with those of Judah (, "Aser" is mentioned). But these are only a pledge of the full restoration hereafter (, "All Israel"). Compare . This 3rd verse is a brief statement of the subject before the prophecy itself is given.
