     (f) That is, of Jacob.

     their king, whom I will raise up to them.

     (g) That is, Messiah who would come of the stock of David
         according to the flesh and would be the true pastor,

Jer 30:11
30:11 For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though
      I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered
      thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will
      correct thee in measure, and will not {h} leave thee
      altogether unpunished.

      (h) In this is commanded God's great mercy toward his, who
          does not destroy them for their sins, but corrects and
          chastises them till he has purged and pardoned them
          and so burns the rods by which he punished them,
          @Isa 33:1.

      they shall not be small.

      (n) He shows how the people will with praise and
          thanksgiving acknowledge this blessing.

Jer 30:21
30:21 And their {o} nobles shall be from themselves, and their
      governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will
      cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for
      who [is] this that engaged his {p} heart to approach to
      me?  saith the LORD.

      (o) Meaning, Zerubbabel, who was the figure of Christ in
          whom this was accomplished.

          the obedience of God his father.

          with these promises the prophet shows what will be
          their portion.

      hath done [it], and until he hath performed the intents of
      his heart: in the {r} latter days ye shall consider it.
