¹⁰ Though the mountains be shaken^(A)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love^(B) for you will not be shaken^(C)

⁹ It will not be like the covenant

    and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
¹⁰ This is the covenant^(C) I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
    and write them on their hearts.^(D)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(E)

    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
