Jeremiah 31:31-34

New International Version

³¹“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant^(A)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
³²It will not be like the covenant^(B)
    I made with their ancestors^(C)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,^(D)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband^(E) to^[a] them,^[b]”
declares the Lord.
³³“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds^(F)
    and write it on their hearts.^(G)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(H)
³⁴No longer will they teach^(I) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know^(J) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive^(K) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins^(L) no more.”
