Another Priest, Like Melchizedek

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.(A)
8 God[a] finds fault with them when he says:
“The days are surely coming, says the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,(B)
9 not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
for they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I had no concern for them, says the Lord.
10 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:

and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.(C)
11 And they shall not teach one another
or say to each other,[b] ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.(D)
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins[c] no more.”(E)
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.(F)
