The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the

Hebrews

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

¶ For finding fault with them, he saith,

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.

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:
