Jeremiah 32:40

38 They will be My people, and I will be their God.

39 I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.

I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.

41 Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.

42 For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
