16:59 「主耶和華如此說:你這輕看誓言、背棄盟約的,我必照你所行的待你。
16:60 然而我要追念在你幼年時與你所立的約,也要與你立定永約。
16:61 你接待你姊姊和你妹妹的時候,你要追念你所行的,自覺慚愧;並且我要將她們賜你為女兒,卻不是按著前約。
16:62 我要堅定與你所立的約(你就知道我是耶和華),
16:63 好使你在我赦免你一切所行的時候,心裡追念,自覺抱愧,又因你的羞辱就不再開口。這是主耶和華說的。」
59 "For thus says the Lord God:I will
deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath in breaking the
covenant, 60 yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your
youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. 61 Then you will
remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder
and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of
the covenant with you. 62 I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall
know that I am the Lord, 63 that you may remember and be confounded, and never
open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that
you have done, declares the Lord God."

在這裡我們看見上帝使耶路撒冷被滅是暫時的,上帝沒有忘記祂的永約,祂仍然眷顧以色列民,仍然要透過他們施恩餘萬民!這也讓我們看見,耶路撒冷重建的希望,上帝必復興以色列人!
教會更是上帝所鍾愛的,上帝透過耶穌基督所拯救的是超越以色列人的範圍,祂與被撿選的人所立的永約,是永不廢除的,正如祂與以色列人的約!
上帝在基督裡的約,是包括猶太人和外邦人,將在基督裡都成為新以色列民,都成為亞伯拉罕的子孫,在上帝的眷顧下直到永遠!
