Jeremiah 31:32
Compare all
30 aBut every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.  

A New Covenant

31 “Behold, the adays are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—  
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that aI took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke,1 though I was a husband to them, says the Lord.  
33 aBut this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: bI will put My law in their minds, and write it on their1 hearts; cand I will be their God, and they shall be My people.  
34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for athey all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For bI will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” 
35 Thus says the Lord,
aWho gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs bthe sea,
And its waves roar
c(The Lord of hosts is His name):

Jeremiah 31:32

Not . . . the covenant that I made with . . . fathers—the Old Testament covenant, as contrasted with our gospel covenant (Hebrews 8:8-12; Hebrews 10:16-17, where this prophecy is quoted to prove the abrogation of the law by the gospel), of which the distinguishing features are its securing by an adequate atonement the forgiveness of sins, and by the inworking of effectual grace ensuring permanent obedience. An earnest of this is given partially in the present eclectic or elect Church gathered out of Jews and Gentiles. But the promise here to Israel in the last days is national and universal, and effected by an extraordinary outpouring of the Spirit (Jeremiah 31:33-34; Ezekiel 11:17-20), independent of any merit on their part (Ezekiel 36:25-32; Eze. 37:1-28; Ezekiel 39:29; Joel 2:23-28; Zechariah 12:10; II Corinthians 3:16).

took . . . by . . . hand— (Deuteronomy 1:31; Hosea 11:3).

although I was an husband—(compare Jeremiah 3:14; Hosea 2:7-8). But the Septuagint, Syriac, and St. Paul (Hebrews 8:9) translate, "I regarded them not"; and GESENIUS, etc., justify this rendering of the Hebrew from the Arabic. The Hebrews regarded not God, so God regarded them not.
