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.

35 The Lord is the one who causes the sun to shine during the day.
    He causes the moon and the stars to shine at night.
He causes the waves of the sea to move around
    and they make a loud noise.
He is the Lord Almighty,
    and he makes this promise:
36 ‘I will always take care of Israel's people as my special nation.
I will always cause the laws that rule everything to continue.
I could never forget those laws, and I could never forget my people.’

34 No longer will they teach(A) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know(B) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive(C) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins(D) no more.”

35 This is what the Lord says,

he who appoints(E) the sun
    to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
    to shine by night,(F)
who stirs up the sea(G)
    so that its waves roar(H)
    the Lord Almighty is his name:(I)
36 “Only if these decrees(J) vanish from my sight,”
    declares the Lord,
“will Israel(K) ever cease
    being a nation before me.”
