Jeremiah 31:31-34

The New Covenant

31 aBehold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make ba 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 cI took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, dthough I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 eFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: fI will put my law within them, and I will write it gon their hearts. hAnd 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,’ ifor they shall all know me, jfrom the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For kI will forgive their iniquity, and lI will remember their sin no more.”

Hebrews 8:7-12

7 mFor if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

8For he finds fault with them when he says:

oBehold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
10 pFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and qwrite them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall rall know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
sand I will remember their sins no more.”
