²⁷ And this is^[a] my covenant with them
    when I take away their sins.”^[b](A)

⁹ By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned^(A) for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:^(B)
When he makes all the altar stones^(C)
    to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles^[a](D) or incense altars^(E)
    will be left standing.

²⁰ In those days, at that time,”
    declares the Lord,
“search will be made for Israel’s guilt,
    but there will be none,^(A)
and for the sins^(B) of Judah,
    but none will be found,
    for I will forgive^(C) the remnant^(D) I spare.

³¹ “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant^(A)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
³² It will not be like the covenant^(B)
    I made with their ancestors^(C)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,^(D)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband^(E) to^[a] them,^[b]”
declares the Lord.
³³ “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds^(F)
    and write it on their hearts.^(G)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(H)
34 No longer will they teach^(I) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know^(J) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive^(K) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins^(L) no more.”
