Context — The Good and Bad Figs
5“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, so I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.
6I will keep My eyes on them for good and will return them to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.
7I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.
8But like the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the LORD, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem—those remaining in this land and those living in the land of Egypt. 9I will make them a horror and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing wherever I have banished them.Cross References

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 24:7
And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 24:7
Under the term know me is here (as in many other texts) comprehended faith, love, obedience, all those motions of the soul which rationally should follow a right comprehending of God in men’ s knowledge. They shall be my people, and I will be their God; I will be a God in covenant with them; as I will fulfil what I have promised them, so they shall do what is their duty to me. For, or when, or after that they shall return to me; not feignedly, but with their heart; not partially, but with their whole heart. This is promised as an effect of special grace, not of the mere good inclination of their natural wills, for so the words I will give, in the beginning of the verse, must be understood, otherwise God gives such a heart no more to one man than another.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 24:7

And I will give them an heart to know me.] This was better than all the rest, scil., a sanctified use of their afflictions. This we should highly prize, and pray for. And they shall be my people.] This falling out of lovers shall but be a renewing of love between us. For they shall return unto me.] God must sometimes whip his people to duty, and gather them from evil, as well as entice them, ut uvae dulces sint et non labruseae. Promissio Evangelica, ut infra., chap, xxxi. 33.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 24:7
(7) I will give them an heart to know me . . .—Of this also the history of the return gives at least a partial proof. Whatever other faults might be growing up, they never again fell into the apostasy from the true faith in God, which up to the time of the exile had been their besetting sin. They shall be my people . . .—The prophet clearly remembers and reproduces the promise of Hos 2:23.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 24:7
Verse 7. They shall be my people] I will renew my covenant with them, for they will return to me with their whole heart.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 24:7
