Inasmuch as the people draw near with their mouths
Inasmuch as the people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
Therefore, behold, again I will do a marvelous work
Among these people,
A marvelous work and a wonder;
For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden."
Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah -
not according the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they shall be My people.
None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."
(Is.29:13-14; Jer.31:31-34, both from NKJV)
