31 (A)Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a (B)new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the (C)covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I (D)took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My (E)covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “For (F)this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “(G)I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and (H)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will (I)not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all (J)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will (K)forgive their wrongdoing, and their (L)sin I will no longer remember.”

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.”
