Jeremiah 31:31 through Jeremiah 31:34 (NIV)
31 “The time is coming,” declares the LORD,
“when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their forefathers
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to them,”
declares the LORD.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
after that time,” declares the LORD.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will a man teach his neighbor,
or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the LORD.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”
Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
VERSES 27-34
The people of God shall become numerous and prosperous. In Hebrews 8:8, 9, this
place is quoted as the sum of the covenant of grace made with believers in Jesus
Christ. Not, I will give them a new law; for Christ came not to destroy the law,
but to fulfil it; but the law shall be written in their hearts by the finger of
the Spirit, as formerly written in the tables of stone. The Lord will, by his
grace, make his people willing people in the day of his power. All shall know
the Lord; all shall be welcome to the knowledge of God, and shall have the means
of that knowledge. There shall be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, at the time
the gospel is published. No man shall finally perish, but for his own sins;
none, who is willing to accept of Christ’s salvation.
