That seems like it is just saying the everlasting covenant is to be their God. Maybe the next verses say more though, I haven't read through them with this in mind.

Ok, my next question is why God said in Jeremiah 31:31-34 that they broke his covenant and he would establish a new covenant with them if this covenant was still in place?
Then again it does say in 13:20 "Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant..." so that does seem to reference an eternal covenant like you're saying.
I know I was taught as a child that Jesus establishing a new covenant meant that the old covenant was complete. They would always follow up with Hebrews 8:13 "n that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." Which does seem to say that the old is vanishing away. They also brought up several different OT verses in which prophets or key leaders say that they had broken the covenant with God.
I honestly don't really know where I stand anymore on this, I know the easiest stance to take is Christ established a new covenant and that is all that matters but that would be dumb and would require ignoring the entire OT.
