Notes

Jeremiah 24:7

The Lord would do a wonderful work in the hearts of the exiles, helping them to recognize (literally know) the Lord as a personal God (1 Chronicles 28:9; Psalms 9:10; 36:10; Isaiah 19:21; 52:6; Daniel 11:32; Hosea 2:20; Titus 1:16; 1 John 4:6–8).
They will be My people, and I will be their God: God’s covenant with Israel would become a personal reality for them (Exodus 6:7; 19:5; Deuteronomy 29:13; Revelation 21:7).
all their heart: The exiles would not mix religious loyalties; they would be fully committed to the one true God.

Jeremiah 24:4–7

The people exiled from Jerusalem had a better future than those who stayed. The Lord would create a new community with the exiles (see Jeremiah 1:10).

Jeremiah 24:1–10

This section discusses the meaning of the exile in 597 BC. Some people said it was God's way of removing the bad figs from the basket(Jerusalem) so the good figs could survive. Jeremiah argued the opposite. The good figs were taken out of the basket (into exile) so the bad figs would not destroy them.
