The Lord's Everlasting Covenant

59 “For thus says the Lord God: I will deal with you as you have done, you (A)who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant, 60 yet (B)I will remember my covenant with you (C)in the days of your youth, (D)and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. 61 (E)Then you will remember your ways (F)and be ashamed when you take (G)your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you (H)as daughters, but not on account of[a] the covenant with you. 62 I will establish my covenant with you, (I)and you shall know that I am the Lord, 63 that you may remember and be confounded, and (J)never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”

I will give them to you as daughters,(F) but not on the basis of my covenant with you. 62 So I will establish my covenant(G) with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(H) 63 Then, when I make atonement(I) for you for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed(J) and never again open your mouth(K) because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign Lord.(L)’”
