10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (A)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (B)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (C)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (D)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (E)and their sins [a]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

10 This is the covenant(A) I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
    and write them on their hearts.(B)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(C)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(D)
    from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.(E)[a](F)
