Hebrews 8:6-13 As it is, however, the divine service he has obtained is superior, owing to the fact that he mediates a superior covenant, enacted with superior promises.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ As it is, however, the divine service he has obtained is superior, owing to the fact that he mediates a superior covenant, enacted with superior promises. ⁷ For if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second. ⁸ Whereas God does find fault with the people of that covenant, when he says: The day is coming, saith the Lord, when I will conclude a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be on the lines of the covenant I made with their fathers, ⁹ on the day I took them by the hand to lead out of Egypt's land; for they would not hold to my covenant, so I let them alone, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel when that day comes, saith the Lord; I will set my laws within their mind, inscribing them upon their hearts; I will be a God to them, and they shall be a People to me; ¹¹ one citizen will no longer teach his fellow, one man will no longer teach his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, low and high together. ¹² I will be merciful to their iniquities, and remember their sins no more. ¹³ By saying 'a new covenant,' he antiquates the first. And whatever is antiquated and aged is on the verge of vanishing.
