A New Covenant(C)

For if that (D)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: (E)“Behold, 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 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the 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 make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (F)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (G)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (H)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (I)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (J)and their sins [a]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

13 (K)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

  1. Hebrews 8:12 NU omits and their lawless deeds

But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(A) of which he is mediator(B) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(C) But God found fault with the people and said[a]:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will make a new covenant(D)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors(E)
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(F) 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.(G)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(H)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(I)
    from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.(J)[b](K)

13 By calling this covenant “new,”(L) he has made the first one obsolete;(M) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
