Hebrews 8:8-13
International Children’s Bible
8 But God found something wrong with his people. He says:[a]
“The time is coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new agreement.
It will be with the people of Israel
and the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the agreement
I made with their ancestors.
That was when I took them by the hand
to bring them out of Egypt.
But they broke that agreement,
and I turned away from them, says the Lord.
10 In the future I will make this agreement
with the people of Israel, says the Lord.
I will put my teachings in their minds.
And I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11 People will no longer have to teach
their neighbors and relatives to know the Lord.
This is because all will know me,
from the least to the most important.
12 I will forgive them for the wicked things they did.
I will not remember their sins anymore.” Jeremiah 31:31-34
13 God called this a new agreement, so he has made the first agreement old. And anything that is old and worn out is ready to disappear.
