Hebrews 8:7-9

Revised Standard Version

⁷For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.

⁸For he finds fault with them when he says:

“The days will come, says the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah;
⁹not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
for they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.
