Hebrews 8:6–13

⁶But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant^d of which he is mediator^e is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

⁷For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.^{f 8}But God found fault with the people and said^b:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,

when I will make a new covenant^g

with the people of Israel

and with the people of Judah.

⁹It will not be like the covenant

I made with their ancestors^h

when I took them by the hand

to lead them out of Egypt,

because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,

and I turned away from them,

declares the Lord.

¹⁰This is the covenantⁱ I will establish with the people of Israel

after that time, declares the Lord.

I will put my laws in their minds

and write them on their hearts.^j

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.^k

¹¹No longer will they teach their neighbor,

or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’

because they will all know me,^l

from the least of them to the greatest.

¹²For I will forgive their wickedness

and will remember their sins no more.^m”^cn

¹³By calling this covenant “new,”^o he has made the first one obsolete;^p and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
