33 No, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my Instructions within them and engrave them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 They will no longer need to teach each other to say, "Know the Lord!" because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord; for I will forgive their wrongdoing and never again remember their sins.
35 The Lord proclaims:The one who established the sun to light up the dayand ordered the moon and stars to light up the night,who stirs up the sea into crashing waves,whose name is the Lord of heavenly forces:
36 If the created order should vanish from my sight,declares the Lord, only then would Israel’s descendants ever stop being a nationbefore me.
37 The Lord proclaims:If the heavens above could be measuredand the foundation of the earth below could be fathomed,only then would I reject Israel’s descendantsfor what they have done,declares the Lord.
38 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when the city will be rebuilt for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
39 Its boundaries will extend to the Gareb Hill and around to Goah.
