know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God,
for they will return to me with all their heart.

Commentary
The Lord's answer to His people's
inability to maintain the covenant relationship is for He Himself to intervene
and create in them a new capacity for knowing Him. Whitlock, L. G., Sproul, R. C., Waltke, B. K., &
Silva, M. (1995). Reformation study Bible, the : Bringing the light of the
Reformation to Scripture : New King James Version. Includes index. (Je 24:7).
Nashville: T. Nelson. The Sign of the
Figs (Jeremiah 24) 24:1-7The Lord showed
Jeremiah two baskets of figs set in front of
the temple. One basket
contained very good figs and the
other contained very bad
figs. The good figs pictured the exiles in
Babylon, who would be brought
back to the land because they would
return to God with their whole
heart. 24:8-10The bad figs pictured
Zedekiah the king of Judah, his
princes, and the people remaining in the land after the deportation
in Jeconiah's reign. The exiles will be brought back
to the land, but the others will be
scattered and consumed by sword,
famine, and pestilence.
