Hebrews 8:6-8
GOD’S WORD Translation
6 Jesus has been given a priestly work that is superior to the Levitical priests’ work. He also brings a better promise [a] from God that is based on better guarantees. 7 If nothing had been wrong with the first promise, no one would look for another one. 8 But God found something wrong with his people and said to them,
“The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new promise to Israel and Judah.

Hebrews 8:6-8
New International Version
6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(A) of which he is mediator(B) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(C) 8 But God found fault with the people and said[a]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(D)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
