"^(C1)Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a ^(C2)new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,

not like the ^(C1)covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I ^(C2)took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My ^(C3)covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.

"For ^(C1)this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD: "^(C2)I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and ^(C3)I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

"They will ^(C1)not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all ^(C2)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will ^(C3)forgive their wrongdoing, and their ^(C4)sin I will no longer remember."

This is what the LORD says, He who ^(C1)gives the sun for light by day And the ^(F1)fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who ^(C2)stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— ^(C3)The LORD of armies is His name:

"^(C1)If ^(F1)this fixed order departs From Me," declares the LORD, "Then the descendants of Israel also will ^(C2)cease To be a nation before Me ^(F2)forever."

This is what the LORD says: "^(C1)If the heavens above can be measured And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also ^(C2)reject all the descendants of Israel For everything that they have done," declares the LORD.
