Jeremiah 32:39 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 32:39

37 Behold, I will ^agather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them ^bto dwell safely.

38 They shall be ^aMy people, and I will be their God;

39 then I will ^agive them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.

40 And ^aI will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but ^bI will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me.

41 Yes, ^aI will rejoice over them to do them good, and ^bI will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’

42 “For thus says the Lord: ^a‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
