Jeremiah 31:31-34

International Children’s Bible

³¹ “Look, the time is coming,” says the Lord,
    “when I will make a new agreement.
It will be with the people of Israel
    and the people of Judah.
³² It will not be like the agreement
    I made with their ancestors.
That was when I took them by the hand
    to bring them out of Egypt.
I was a husband to them,
    but they broke that agreement,” says the Lord.
³³ “I will make this agreement
    with the people of Israel,” says the Lord.
“I will put my teachings in their minds.
    And I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.
³⁴ People will no longer have to teach their neighbors and relatives
    to know the Lord.
This is because all people will know me,
    from the least to the most important,” says the Lord.
“I will forgive them for the wicked things they did.
    I will not remember their sins anymore.”
