It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors at the time when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not remain loyal to my covenant, I ignored them, declares the Lord.

By faith he left Egypt, without being afraid of the king's anger, and he persevered because he saw the one who is invisible.
