ירמיהו, פרק ל״א, פסוק ל״ג

The future relationship between God and the Israelites will undergo a profound transformation, shifting from obedience to external rules into a natural, unbreakable inner bond. This new era is set to unfold following the people's return from exile [מצודת דוד].

At the core of this new reality is God's promise to actively guide the people's hearts toward fulfilling the Torah [מצודת דוד]. Instead of existing merely as ink on the pages of books [מלבי״ם, ביאור שטיינזלץ], the Torah will be permanently engraved within their very being, ensuring it is never forgotten [מצודת דוד]. Observing it will become an entirely natural act, driven by a deep, internal understanding [מלבי״ם]. Because the human heart drives decision-making, a heart completely filled with the laws of the Torah will no longer face the struggle of moral choices; the desire to act against God's will simply will not exist [מלבי״ם].

By fully absorbing the Torah, a lasting and unbreakable bond will form between God and the people [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This relationship will be entirely mutual: God will protect and save the Israelites, while they will maintain unwavering faith and observe His commandments [מצודת דוד]. The sequence of this new reality reveals that the closeness will first be initiated by God's kindness, which then naturally results in the people's devotion. The relationship will no longer depend on the Israelites taking the first step to seek Him out, as their new inner nature will automatically prevent them from making bad choices [מלבי״ם].
