Jeremiah 31:31-34 ▼

31 |Indeed, a time is coming,| says the LORD, |when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.

32 It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I delivered them from Egypt. For they violated that covenant, even though I was like a faithful husband to them,| says the LORD.

33 |But I will make a new covenant with the whole nation of Israel after I plant them back in the land,| says the LORD. |I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts and minds. I will be their God and they will be my people.

34 |People will no longer need to teach their neighbors and relatives to know me. For all of them, from the least important to the most important, will know me,| says the LORD. |For I will forgive their sin and will no longer call to mind the wrong they have done.|
