¹⁶ “This is the new covenant I will make
    with my people on that day,^[a] says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
    and I will write them on their minds.”^[b]

“The day is coming, says the Lord,
    when I will make a new covenant
    with the people of Israel and Judah.
⁹ This covenant will not be like the one
    I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
    and led them out of the land of Egypt.
They did not remain faithful to my covenant,
    so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.
¹⁰ But this is the new covenant I will make
    with the people of Israel on that day,^[a] says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds,
    and I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.
¹¹ And they will not need to teach their neighbors,
    nor will they need to teach their relatives,^[b]
    saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’
For everyone, from the least to the greatest,
    will know me already.
¹² And I will forgive their wickedness,
    and I will never again remember their sins.”^[c]

²⁷ And this is my covenant with them,
    that I will take away their sins.”^[a]
