The New Covenant

31 ^g“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make ^ha new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when ⁱI took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, ^jthough I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 ^kFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: ^lI will put my law within them, and I will write it ^mon their hearts. ⁿAnd I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ ^ofor they shall all know me, ^pfrom the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For ^qI will forgive their iniquity, and ^rI will remember their sin no more.”

Ezekiel 39:29

29 ^sAnd I will not hide my face anymore from them, when ^tI pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Lord God.”
