“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.”
