Hebrews 8:7–13
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one. 8 But finding fault with his people,D he says:E
See, 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—
that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
I showed no concern for them, says the Lord,
because they did not continue in my covenant.
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.p
11 And each person will not teach his fellow citizen,F
and each his brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord,”
because they will all know me,
from the least to the greatest of them.q
12 For I will forgive their wrongdoing,
and I will never again remember their sins.G,H,r
13 By saying a new covenant, he has declared that the first is obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old is about to pass away.s
