Hebrews 8:8-12

Easy-to-Read Version

“The time is coming, says the Lord,
    when I will give a new agreement
    to the people of Israel and to the people of Judah.
⁹ It will not be like the agreement
    that I gave to their fathers.
That is the agreement I gave when I took them by the hand
    and led them out of Egypt.
They did not continue following the agreement I gave them,
    and I turned away from them, says the Lord.
¹⁰ This is the new agreement I will give the people of Israel.
    I will give this agreement in the future, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds,
    and I will write my laws on their hearts.
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.
¹¹ Never again will anyone have to teach their neighbors
    or their family to know the Lord.
    All people—the greatest and the least important—will know me.
¹² And I will forgive the wrongs they have done,
    and I will not remember their sins.” ^(A)
