According to the (D)faithful mercies [b]shown to David.

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the (A)mediator of (B)a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

A New Covenant

For (C)if that first covenant had been free of fault, no [a]circumstances would have been sought for a second. For in finding fault with [b]the people, He says,

(D)Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
[c]When I will bring about (E)a new covenant
With the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
(F)Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
On the day I took them by the hand
To bring them out of the land of Egypt;
For they did not continue in My covenant,
And I did not care about them, says the Lord.
10 (G)For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, declares the Lord:
[d]I will put My laws into their minds,
And write them (H)on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.

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.

For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(C) 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.
It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors(E)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
    and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(F) 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.(G)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(H)
