Jeremiah 31:26–34

²⁶At this I ^aawoke and looked, and my ^bsleep was pleasant to me.

The New Covenant

²⁷“Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will ^asow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.

²⁸“And it will be that as I have ^awatched over them to ^buproot, to tear down, to pull down, to destroy, and to bring calamity, so I will watch over them to ^cbuild and to plant,” declares Yahweh.

²⁹“In those days they will not say again,

‘^aThe fathers have eaten sour grapes,

And the children’s teeth are ¹set on edge.’

³⁰“But ^aeveryone will die for his own iniquity; each man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be ¹set on edge.

³¹“^aBehold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will cut a ^bnew covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,

³²not like the ^acovenant which I cut with their fathers in the day I ^btook them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My ^ccovenant which they broke, but I was a husband to them,” declares Yahweh.

³³“But ^athis is the covenant which I will cut with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Yahweh: “^bI will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and ^cI will be their God, and they shall be My people.

³⁴“And they will ^anot teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for they will all ^bknow Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Yahweh, “for I will ^cforgive their iniquity, and their ^dsin I will remember no more.”
