8 For finding fault with them, he saith, ?Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord; and I will accomplish for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant: 9 not according to that covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I laid hold upon their hand to lead them up out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I took no longer care of them, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; giving my laws to their understanding, even on their hearts will I inscribe them: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. 11 And they shall no more teach every man his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the mean man of them unto the great among them. 12 For I will be placable to their unrighteousnesses and their sins, and their iniquities I will never more remember.? 13 In calling it a new covenant, he hath made the first antiquated. Now what is antiquated and grown aged, is near evanescence. Hebrews 8:8-13, Haweis New Testament. Public domain.
