Hebrews 8:8-13
New International Version
8 But God found fault with the people and said[a]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(A)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors(B)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(C) I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.(D)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(E)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(F)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(G)”[b](H)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(I) he has made the first one obsolete;(J) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

8 But finding fault with His people,[a] He says:[b]
Look, 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—
9 not like the covenant
that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by their hands
to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
I disregarded them, says the Lord,
because they did not continue in My covenant.
10 But 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, saying, “Know the Lord,”
because they will all know Me,
from the least to the greatest of them.(B)
12 For I will be merciful to their wrongdoing,
and I will never again remember their sins.[d](C)[e]
13 By saying, a new covenant, He has declared that the first is old. And what is old and aging is about to disappear.(D)
