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 ancestorsd on the day of my grasping theme 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 heartsi 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.”

35 Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for light by day, the regulations of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name. 36 “If these rules would cease from ⌊before me⌋,”n ⌊declares⌋o Yahweh, “also the offspring of Israel would cease from being a nation ⌊before me⌋p ⌊forever⌋.”q 37 Thus says Yahweh, “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, also I will reject all the offspring of Israel because of all that they have done,” ⌊declares⌋r Yahweh. 38 “Look, days are coming,” ⌊declares⌋s Yahweh, “and the city will be rebuilt for Yahweh, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 And ⌊the measuring line⌋t will still go out immediately in front of it to the hill of Gareb, and it will turn to Goah. 40 And the whole of the valley of the corpses, and the ashes, and all the cultivated fields up to the wadi of Kidron, up to the corner of the Gate of the Horses toward the east will be holy to Yahweh. It will not be uprooted, and it will not be overthrown again ⌊forever⌋.”u
