Jeremiah 30:8 (NAB): On that day—oracle of the LORD of hosts—I will break his yoke off your neck and snap your bonds. Strangers shall no longer enslave them;
To whom do all these pronouns refer?
The most confusing is “your”.
Is the verse switching from 3rd person to 2nd person?
Is it addressing Jeremiah himself and equating him to Jacob?
Is the verse referring to someone from previous verse in Jeremiah?
And I have no idea whose yoke it is that is broken and who "your" is.

Of course, “your.” A reference to the forgiveness of sin through the death of Christ. Compare to the yoke of the Law of Moses,
“So now why are you putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?”
Acts 15:10
