Hebrews 8:7-9 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second. ⁸ For he finds fault with them when he says: "The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; ⁹ not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.
