^c“Behold, 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,
9 not 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 ^dFor 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 ^ewrite them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall ^fall know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
^gand I will remember their sins no more.”

Hebrews 12:14

14 ^hStrive for peace with everyone, and for the ⁱholiness ^jwithout which no one will see the Lord.
