Jeremiah 30:21 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

And their nobles shall be of themselves— And their prince or mighty one shall be for themselves. Houbigant. The Messiah seems plainly marked out by the two names of Mighty One and Governor in this verse, and so the Targum understands it. I will cause him to draw near, &c. says the Lord; that is to say, "He shall have a near attendance upon me, for I will make him a priest as well as a king;" according to that prophesy in Psalms 110. For who is this that engaged his heart, &c.? "Who is there so entirely devoted to my service as the Messiah?" The words זה הוא מי mi hu zeh,—who is this, have an emphasis in the original, which cannot be expressed in another language, and are spoken by way of admiration. Houbigant renders the clause, For who will have confidence in his heart to approach unto me? Cyrus in his edict seems to have had this place in view. See Ezra 1:3.
