8} For finding fault with them, He says,

“^(D)Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
^(a)When I will effect ^(E)a new covenant
With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

^(F)Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
On the day when I took them by the hand
To lead them out of the land of Egypt;

And I did not care for them, says the Lord.

“^(G)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, says the Lord:
^(b)I will put My laws into their minds,
And I will write them ^(H)on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.
