Jeremiah 31:31-40

31“1Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a 2new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32not like the 3covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I 4took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My 5covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33“But 6this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “7I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and 8I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34They will 9not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all 10know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will 11forgive their iniquity, and their 12sin I will remember no more.”

35Thus says the Lord, Who 13gives the sun for light by day And the 14fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who 15stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; 16The Lord of hosts is His name:36“17If 18this fixed order departs From before Me,” declares the Lord, “Then the offspring of Israel also will 19cease From being a nation before Me 20forever.”37Thus says the Lord, “21If the heavens above can be measured And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also 22cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done,” declares the Lord.

38“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the 23city will be rebuilt for the Lord from the 24Tower of Hananel to the 25Corner Gate. 39The 26measuring line will go out farther straight ahead to the hill Gareb; then it will turn to Goah. 40And 27the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook 28Kidron, to the corner of the 29Horse Gate toward the east, shall be 30holy to the Lord; it will not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever.”
