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.
And I will make a permanent promise with them that I will never turn away from them or stop doing good things for them. I will put reverence for me in their hearts so they won't turn away from me.
God is promising to make an unbreakable covenant where He commits to never abandon His people and will put a deep respect for Him in their hearts so they stay close to Him.
