Jeremiah 24:6-10
24:7 a The Lord would do a marvelous work in the hearts of the exiles, helping them to recognize (literally know) . . . the Lord as a personal God (1 Chr 28:9 b; Pss 9:10 c; 36:10 d; Isa 19:21 e; 52:6 f; Dan 11:32 g; Hos 2:20 h; Titus 1:16 i; 1 Jn 4:6-8 j).• They will be my people, and I will be their God: God’s covenant with Israel would become a personal reality to them (Exod 6:7 k; 19:5 l; Deut 29:13 m; Rev 21:7 n).
• wholeheartedly: The exiles would not mix religious loyalties; they would be completely committed to the one true God.
