The New Covenant

31 “Look, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I’ll make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 32 It won’t be like the covenant I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. They broke my covenant, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “Rather, this is the covenant that I’ll make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord. “I’ll put my Law[a] within them and will write it on their hearts. I’ll be their God and they will be my people. 34 No longer will a person teach his neighbor or his relative: ‘Know the Lord.’ Instead, they’ll all know me, from the least to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord. “Indeed, I’ll forgive their iniquity, and I’ll remember their sin no more.”

  1. Jeremiah 31:33 Or instruction

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.”
