31. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“when I shall make a new covenant with those
of the house of Israel and with those
of the house of Judah. 32. Not
like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day that I took them
by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine
they changed, although I took pleasure in them, says
the Lord. 33. But this is the
covenant which I shall make with the house of Israel after those days, says the
Lord: I will put my Law in their inward parts, and upon their heart I will
write it; and I shall be their God, and they shall become a people before me. 34. And a man shall no longer teach his neighbour and his
brother, saying, Know how to fear from
before the Lord; for all of them shall learn
to know the fear of me, from
their smallest even to their greatest ones, says the Lord; for I will forgive
their debts, and their sins; they shall not be remembered any more.” (The
Targum of Jeremiah [trans. Robert Hayward; The Aramaic Bible 12;
Collegeville, Minn.: The Liturgical Press, 1990], Logos ed.)
