²³ Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Once more they shall use these words in the land of Judah and in its cities, ^(A)when I restore their fortunes:

^24 (A)And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and ^(B)the farmers and those who wander with their flocks.

^27 (A)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when ^(B)I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with ^(C)the seed of man and the seed of beast.

The New Covenant

^31 (A)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make ^(B)a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,

³² not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when ^(A)I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, ^(B)though I was their husband, declares the Lord.
