Jeremiah 31:32-34
EasyEnglish Bible
32 It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors. At that time, I brought them safely out of Egypt. I took care of them, like a faithful husband who takes care of his wife. But they did not obey my covenant.’ That is what the Lord says.
33 ‘Yes, I will make a new covenant with Israel's people at that time. It will be like this: I will put my law deep inside them, in their hearts and minds. I will be their God, and they will be my people.’ That is what the Lord says.
34 ‘Then people will not have to teach their friends or their family about me. They will all know me already. The important people and the ordinary people will all know me. I will forgive the wicked things that they have done. I will no longer think about their sins.’ That is what the Lord says.

Jeremiah 31:32-34
New International Version
32 It will not be like the covenant(A)
I made with their ancestors(B)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,(C)
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband(D) to[a] them,[b]”
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds(E)
and write it on their hearts.(F)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(G)
34 No longer will they teach(H) their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know(I) me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive(J) their wickedness
and will remember their sins(K) no more.”
