For finding fault with them, He says,

(A)Behold, days are coming, says the [a]Lord,
[b]When I will complete (B)a new covenant
With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
(C)Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
In 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 I did not care for them, says the [c]Lord.
10 (D)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, says the [d]Lord:
[e]I will put My laws into their minds,
And (E)upon their hearts I will write them.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.
11 (F)And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen,
And everyone his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
For (G)all will know Me,
From [f]the least to the greatest of them.
12 (H)For I will be merciful to their iniquities,
(I)And I will remember their sins no more.”

13 [g]When He said, “(J)A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. (K)But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is [h]ready to disappear.

But finding fault with his people,[a] he says:[b]

See, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah—
not like the covenant
that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
I showed no concern for them, says the Lord,
because they did not continue in my covenant.
10 For this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(A)
11 And each person will not teach his fellow citizen,[c]
and each his brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord,”
because they will all know me,
from the least to the greatest of them.(B)
12 For I will forgive their wrongdoing,
and I will never again remember their sins.[d][e] (C)

13 By saying a new covenant, he has declared that the first is obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old is about to pass away.(D)
