31 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a [a]new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the which my covenant they [b]brake, although I was [c]an husband unto them, saith the Lord.

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After [d]those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
