not like the covenant
that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by their hands
to lead them out of the land of Egypt.
I disregarded them, says the Lord,
because they did not continue in My covenant.
10 But 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,[a]
and each his brother, saying, “Know the Lord,”
because they will all know Me,
from the least to the greatest of them.(B)

It will not be like the covenant

    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
    and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(B) I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
    and write them on their hearts.(C)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(D)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
