⁹ It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their people of long ago.
That was when I took them by the hand.
    I led them out of Egypt.
My new covenant will be different because they didn’t remain faithful to my old covenant.
    So I turned away from them,
    announces the Lord.
¹⁰ This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds.
    I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God.
    And they will be my people.
¹¹ People will not teach their neighbor anymore.
    They will not say to one another, ‘Know the Lord.’
That’s because everyone will know me.
    From the least important to the most important,
    all of them will know me.
