Jeremiah 31:31–37

³¹Look, 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, ³²not 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 heartsⁱ I will write it, and I will be to them God, and they themselves will be to me people. ³⁴And 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.”

³⁵Thus 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.
