WC 2008 Dr Judith MacNutt Plenary 1.2-----Jeremiah 31;33-- New covenant // NOW

jeremiah 31;33

31 “The days are coming,” declares theLord,
    “when I will make a new covenant 
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant 
    I made with their ancestors 
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt, 
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband to[d]them,[e]
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares theLord.
“I will put my law in their minds 
    and write it on their hearts. 
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people. 
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know theLord,’
because they will all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.”
