The New Covenant

31 Yes, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers,
when I took them by the hand
and led them out of the land of Egypt.
They broke that covenant of mine,
although I was a husband to them, declares the Lord.
33 But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
        after those days,
declares the Lord.
I will put my law[a] in their minds,
and I will write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
