New Living Translation
Hebrews 8:7-13
7If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it.
8But when God found fault with the people, he said: “The day is coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.
9This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt. They did not remain faithful to my covenant, so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.
10But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already.
12And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”
13When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear.
