Hebrews 8:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 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;
9 (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.

Revised Standard Version
8 For he finds fault with them when he says:
“The days will come, says the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah;
9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
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 paid no heed to them, says the Lord.
10 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,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach every one his fellow
or every one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for all shall know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more.”
13 In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
