31Look, days are coming, declares Yahweh, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

32not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they themselves broke, though I was their husband, declares Yahweh.

33For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Yahweh: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34And they will no longer teach, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares Yahweh. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
