The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

An everlasting covenant. It is the "new covenant" of Jeremiah 31:31, etc; which is meant (for the phrase, comp. Isaiah 55:3; Ezekiel 37:26). That I will not turn … to do them good. The comma in the Authorized Version impairs the sense.

The prophet means, "That I will not cease to show them favour" (comp. Isaiah 54:10).
