See, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah –
⁹ not like the covenant
that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
I showed no concern for them, says the Lord,
because they did not continue in my covenant.
¹⁰ For this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.^(A)
11 And each person will not teach his fellow citizen,^[c]
and each his brother or sister, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least to the greatest of them.^(B)
12 For I will forgive their wrongdoing,
and I will never again remember their sins.^[d][e](C)

¹⁶ This is the covenant I will make with them
after those days,

I will put my laws on their hearts
and write them on their minds, ¹⁷ andI will never again remember
their sins and their lawless acts.^[a](A)
