24:6 In keeping with the call of Jeremiah in 1:10, God promised these good figs that he would build them . . . plant them . . . not demolish, and not uproot them.
24:7 Two parts of the tripartite formula for the promise of God appear in this verse: They will be my people, and I will be their God. God would give them a heart to know him because they would return to him with all their heart. The new heart did not depend on the people returning to God, because he had already given them a heart to know him. The new heart of 32:37-41 was also an unconditional promise of God.
24:8-10 The bad figs were inedible. This describes those who were still living in the land or those who had fled to Egypt. Their disobedience to God led them into ever greater sin as they hardened their hearts. As he had done with Pharaoh, God responded by further hardening their hearts.
