b) Then it would be well with them – their Shalom.

Chris.
If God’s people would Hear Him and Obey Him then it would be well with them. They would enter their Shalom. God still wants us to live in Shalom. Our Shalom is, however, sometimes violated by our own mistakes, the sins of other people against us and also by situations in our environment that our out of our control. We need to keep Hearing Him and Obeying Him for the restoration of our Shalom.
