but God[a] found something wrong with his people[b] when he said,

“Look! The days are coming, declares the Lord,[c]
    when I will establish a new covenant
        with the house of Israel
        and with the house of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors at the time
    when I took them by the hand
        and brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Because they did not remain loyal to my covenant,
    I ignored them, declares the Lord.[d]
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
    after that time, declares the Lord:[e]
I will put my laws in their minds
    and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.

But God found fault with the people and said[a]:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will make a new covenant(A)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors(B)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
    and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(C) 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.(D)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(E)
