Hebrews 8:8-12

Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant

⁸ For he finds fault with them when he says: _1
g "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
⁹ not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
¹⁰ _h For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and _i write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
¹¹ And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,'
for they shall _j all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
¹² For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
_k and I will remember their sins no more."
