31 Look, the days are coming,” declares[a] Yahweh, “and I will make[b] a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made[c] with their ancestors[d] on the day of my grasping them[e] by their hand, bringing them out from the land of Egypt, my covenant that they themselves broke, though I myself was a master over them,” declares[f] Yahweh. 33 “But this is the covenant that I will make[g] with the house of Israel after those days,” declares[h] Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts and on their hearts[i] I will write it, and I will be to them God, and they themselves will be to me people. 34 And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor, or each one his brother, saying,[j] ‘Know Yahweh,’ for all of them will know me, from their smallest[k] and up to their greatest,”[l] declares[m] Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember.”

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,
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.
