‏ Jeremiah 32:38-41

Summary for Jer 32:38-40: 32:38-40 ^a The new covenant (31:31-34 ^b) would take root deep within the spiritual being of the people, both as individuals and in the community.

• They will be my people, and I will be their God: A deep relationship between God and his people would finally be realized, as had been the intent of the covenant all along (7:23 ^c; Lev 26:12 ^d; Ezek 11:20 ^e; 37:23 ^f; Zech 8:8 ^g).
32:39 ^h Under the new covenant, the people would worship the one true God rather than idols.
32:41 ⁱ find joy: The Lord’s anger at seeing his people worship sex-idols and his grief in punishing them for breaching the old covenant would be gone. No longer would he uproot them (1:10 ^j); instead, it would be his delight to replant them.
