Jeremiah 31:34-36

New International Reader's Version

³⁴They will not need to teach their neighbor anymore.
    And they will not need to teach one another anymore.
    They will not need to say, ‘Know the Lord.’
That’s because everyone will know me.
    From the least important of them to the most important,
    all of them will know me,”
    announces the Lord.
“I will forgive their evil ways.
    I will not remember their sins anymore.”

³⁵The Lord speaks.

He makes the sun
    shine by day.
He orders the moon and stars
    to shine at night.
He stirs up the ocean.
    He makes its waves roar.
    His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.
³⁶“Suppose my orders for creation disappear from my sight,”
    announces the Lord.
“Only then will the people of Israel stop being
    a nation in my sight.”
