    “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
  3. 9not 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;

    and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
  4. 10“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.

    I will also write them on their heart.
    I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.

    and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
    for all will know me,
