¹⁰ But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind, and I will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach every one his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the lest even to the greatest of them. ¹² For I will forgive their crimes, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more." ¹³ Now by saying, a new covenant, He hath antiquated the first: and what is antiquated, and groweth old, is near it's exit.
