Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But finding fault with it he says, "The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant, ⁹ not in the manner of the covenant which 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 abide by my covenant and I ceased to care for them, says the Lord. ¹⁰ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts and I will be their God and they will be my people. ¹¹ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them, ¹² and I will be merciful to their wrong-doings and their sins I will remember no more." ¹³ In saying "new" he has pronounced the first covenant old. But what grows old and decadent is near to disappearance.
