SCRIPTURE
Jeremiah 31: 27-34
“I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no
more”
27
The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will sow the house of Israel
and the house of Judah with the seed of humans and the seed of animals. 28
And just as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow,
destroy, and bring evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says
the LORD. 29 In those days they shall no longer say: "The
parents have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." 30
But all shall die for their own sins; the teeth of everyone who eats sour grapes
shall be set on edge. 31 The days are surely coming, says the LORD,
when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt-- a covenant
that they broke, though I was their husband, says the LORD. 33 But
this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their
hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 No
longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, "Know the
LORD," for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,
says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no
more.
