For he finds fault with them when he says:[a]

(A)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
    and with the house of Judah,
not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
    on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
    and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
10 (B)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
    and (C)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
    and they shall be my people.

  1. Hebrews 8:8 Some manuscripts For finding fault with it he says to them

For in finding fault with [a]the people, He says,

(A)Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
[b]When I will bring about (B)a new covenant
With the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
(C)Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
On the day I took them by the hand
To bring them out of the land of Egypt;
For they did not continue in My covenant,
And I did not care about them, says the Lord.
10 (D)For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, declares the Lord:
[c]I will put My laws into their minds,
And write them (E)on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.
