Hebrews 8:7-9

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

For God Promised a New Covenant

⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second. ⁸ For, finding-fault-with^[a] them, He says [in Jer 31:31-34]: “Behold— days are coming, says the Lord, and I will consummate^[b] a new covenant for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah; ⁹ not in accordance with the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took-hold-of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I did not-care-for them, says the Lord.
