Go read Jeremiah in Context. The BRANCH referred to was Christ coming as a man.
All the speaking of restoration in those scriptures was literally speaking of restoration from being carried away into literal captivity due to their sin. Its pretty clear that its done to chastise and bring them back into a covenant relationship and then and only then will that be restored as it is for us all through repentence, being baptised in His name and being filled with His Spirit.
