A fresh start for God's people. Now that the wicked have been removed, Judah will be rebuilt along with a new covenant. God in their hearts. They will learn to fear God again per their past fathers evil ways.

One of my favorite verses in the bible. Time and time again it has given me hope when I have failed God...God loves his children and yearns for them when they fail, that is why we should NEVER GIVE UP!
