Jeremiah 32:38-40

[38] And they shall be my people,  and I will be their God:  [39] And I will give  them one  heart,  and one  way,  that they may fear  me for ever,  for the good  of them, and of their children  after  them: [40] And I will make  an everlasting  covenant  with them, that I will not turn away  from them,  to do them good;  but I will put  my fear  in their hearts,  that they shall not depart  from me.

What does Jeremiah 32:38-40 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

He would reestablish a covenant relationship with them, give them all a faithful heart, and they would then always fear Him (cf. Jeremiah 31:31-34). The result would be blessing for them and for their descendants. His (new) covenant with them would be everlasting, a promise not mentioned in the New Covenant passage in the preceding chapter (cf. Ezekiel 36:24-32). He would always do them good, and they would always reverence Him, not just know Him ( Jeremiah 31:34).
