Jeremiah 31:31-37
31Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: 32Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 YhwhH3068:1 33But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971. 34And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 YhwhH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 YhwhH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.
35Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, which givethH5414 the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, which dividethH7280 the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993; YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 is his nameH8034: 36If those ordinancesH2706 departH4185 from beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, then the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673 from being a nationH1471 beforeH6440 me for everH3117. 37Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; If heavenH8064 aboveH4605 can be measuredH4058, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searched outH2713 beneathH4295, I will also cast offH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for all that they have doneH6213, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.
