General Information:

This continues the quotation from the prophet Jeremiah.

They will not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord.'

This direct quotation can be stated as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: "They will not need to teach their neighbors or brothers to know me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations)

citizen ... brother

Both of these refer to a fellow Israelite. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet)

Know the Lord ... will all know me

"Know" here stands for acknowledge. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
