Hebrews 8

World English Bible (WEB)

8 Ref For finding fault with them, he said, "Behold, the days come," says the Lord, "That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

9 Ref Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; For they didn't continue in my covenant, And I disregarded them," says the Lord.

10 Ref "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be to them a God, And they will be to me a people.

11 Ref They will not teach every man his fellow citizen,{TR reads "neighbor" instead of "fellow citizen"} Every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' For all will know me, From the least of them to the greatest of them.

12 Ref For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."

13 Ref In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

King James Version (KJV)

8 Ref For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Ref Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 Ref For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 Ref And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 Ref For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 Ref In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
