The New Covenant

31 rBehold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make sa new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when tI took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, uthough I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 vFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: wI will put my law within them, and I will write it xon their hearts. yAnd I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ zfor they shall all know me, aafrom the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For abI will forgive their iniquity, and acI will remember their sin no more.”
