God in this chapter isn't just promising that the people will return, though that is part of it, but promising to create a people who will follow him faithfully. The chapter ends with the promise that God will create a people who have singleness of heart and action. God will create a people from Israel who will be faithful. God will have a people that he can bless continuously. This ultimate promise is seen in the work that God is going to do in Jesus. The people that Jesus redeems will become a people that will have hearts that never turn from him. God do that work in me, I pray.
