8. But finding fault with His people, He says: Look, the days are coming, says the Lord,when I will make a new covenantwith the house of Israeland with the house of Judah —
9. not like the covenantthat I made with their ancestorson the day I took them by their handsto lead them out of the land of Egypt.I disregarded them, says the Lord,because they did not continue in My covenant.
10. But this is the covenantthat I will make with the house of Israelafter those days, says the Lord:I will put My laws into their mindsand write them on their hearts.I will be their God,and they will be My people.
11. And each person will not teach his fellow citizen, and each his brother, saying, “Know the Lord,”because they will all know Me,from the least to the greatest of them.
12. For I will be merciful to their wrongdoing,and I will never again remember their sins.
13. By saying, a new covenant, He has declared that the first is old. And what is old and aging is about to disappear.
