Hebrews 8:7-9 For if the first covenant had been faultless, no place had there been for this second.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For if the first covenant had been faultless, no place had there been for this second. ⁸ For reprehending them he saith, Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, and I will complete with [Upon.] the family of the house of Israel, and with the family of the house of Jihuda, THE NEW COVENANT: ⁹ not as was that covenant which I gave to their fathers in the day that I took them by their hand, and led them from the land of Metsreen; because they did not persevere in my covenant, therefore I have neglected them, saith the Lord.
