Hebrews 8:4-8
21st Century King James Version

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(H) 8 But God found fault with the people and said[b]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(I)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
