¹⁸ To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.

⁹ `And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He `is' God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands -- to a thousand generations,

¹⁰ All the paths of Jehovah `are' kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

¹⁶ and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

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,

⁷ for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.

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.

⁶ and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.'

¹ My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,

¹² If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.

⁹ `Beth.' With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe -- according to Thy word.

¹⁰ With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.

¹¹ In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.

³¹ And the king standeth on his station, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this book.

⁶ and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,

⁷ and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

⁸ and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,

⁹ and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

²³ `Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He hath made with you, and have made to yourselves a graven image, a similitude of anything `concerning' which Jehovah thy God hath charged thee:

⁸ And Moses taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people, and saith, `Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you, concerning all these things.'

⁵ `And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth `is' Mine;

⁹ And God saith unto Abraham, `And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

¹⁰ this `is' My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you `is' to be circumcised;

¹ As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,
