Hebrews 8:8-13
New American Standard Bible
8 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,
9 (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.
11 (F)And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen,
And each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
For (G)they will all know Me,
From [d]the least to the greatest of them.
12 (H)For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings,
(I)And their sins I will no longer remember.”
13 [e]When He said, “(J)A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. (K)But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is [f]about to disappear.

8 For in finding fault with them he says,
“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.”
13 In calling it new, he has declared the former to be old. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is near to disappearing.
