Hebrews 8:8-13
Lexham English Bible
8 For in finding fault with them he says,
“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
on the day I took hold of them by my hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
because they did not continue in my covenant
and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will decree with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I am putting my laws in their minds
and I will write them on their hearts,
and I will be their[a] God
and they will be my[b] people.
11 And they will not teach each one his fellow citizen
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings,
and I will not remember their sins any longer.”
13 In calling it new, he has declared the former to be old. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is near to disappearing.

Hebrews 8:8-13
New International Version
8 But God found fault with the people and said[a]:
“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.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors(B)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(C) I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.(D)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(E)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(F)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(G)”[b](H)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(I) he has made the first one obsolete;(J) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
