¹⁵ And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,

⁷ He `is' Jehovah our God, In all the earth `are' His judgments.

⁸ He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁰ And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

¹⁰ For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness from thee departeth not, And the covenant of My peace removeth not, Said hath thy loving one -- Jehovah.

⁸ For finding fault, He saith to them, `Lo, days come, saith the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,

⁹ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking `them' by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt -- because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, saith the Lord, --

¹⁰ because this `is' the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

¹¹ and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them,

¹² because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;' --

¹³ in the saying `new,' He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old `is' nigh disappearing.

²⁵ In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink `it' -- to the remembrance of me;'

²³ and Jehovah doth favour them, and pity them, and turn unto them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.

⁶ and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,

²⁵ `Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth;

²⁶ to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.'

³⁴ I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

³⁵ Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,

³⁶ His seed is to the age, And his throne `is' as the sun before Me,

³⁷ As the moon it is established -- to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.

³⁸ And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,
