Jeremiah 31:31–37

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

³²not like the ^acovenant which I made 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, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.

³³“But ^athis is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “^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“They will ^anot teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all ^bknow Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will ^cforgive their iniquity, and their ^dsin I will remember no more.”

³⁵Thus says the Lord,

Who ^agives the sun for light by day

And the ¹fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,

Who ^bstirs up the sea so that its waves roar;

^cThe Lord of hosts is His name:

³⁶“^aIf ¹this fixed order departs

From before Me,” declares the Lord,

“Then the offspring of Israel also will ^bcease

From being a nation before Me ²forever.”

³⁷Thus says the Lord,

“^aIf the heavens above can be measured

And the foundations of the earth searched out below,

Then I will also ^bcast off all the offspring of Israel

For all that they have done,” declares the Lord.
