Singleness of heart

Jeremiah 32:38-42

They will be my people, and I will be their God.

I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me for their own good and the good of their children after them.

I will make an everlasting covenant with them:

I will never stop doing good to them, and

I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.

I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul.

"This is what the LORD says:

As I have brought all this great calamity on this people,

so I will give them all the prosperity

I have promised them.

The Hebrew word for "singleness" here in Jeremiah 32:39 is the same word for "one" in Deuteronomy 6:4, "Listen, Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!"

The Hebrew word is "echad."
