For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
