Hebrews 8:6-8
International Standard Version
6 However, Jesus[a] has now obtained a more superior ministry, since the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.
The New Covenant is Better than the Old
7 If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one, 8 but God[b] found something wrong with his people[c] when he said,
“Look! The days are coming, declares the Lord,[d]
when I will establish a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.

New International Version
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.
