Jeremiah 31:31-34

Contemporary English Version

The New Agreement with Israel and Judah

^31 (A)(B) The Lord said:

The time will surely come when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah. ³² It will be different from the agreement I made with their ancestors when I led them out of Egypt. Although I was their God, they broke that agreement.

^33 (C) Here is the new agreement that I, the Lord, will make with the people of Israel:

^34 (D) “No longer will they have to teach one another to obey me. I, the Lord, promise that all of them will obey me, ordinary people and rulers alike. I will forgive their sins and forget the evil things they have done.”
