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): 
36 “If athose ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”

John Wesley's Notes

Jeremiah 31:33

With - That is, with those who are Jews inwardly. And write it - The prophet's design is here to express the difference betwixt the law and the gospel. The first shews duty, the latter brings the grace of regeneration, by which the heart is changed, and enabled for duty. All under the time of the law that came to salvation, were saved by this new covenant; but this was not evidently exhibited; neither was the regenerating grace of God so common under the time of the law, as it hath been under the gospel.
