There are days coming, ’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘ and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant ’... ‘ This is the covenant that I shall conclude with the house of Israel after those days, ’ is the utterance of Jehovah. ‘ I will put my law within them, and in their heart I shall write it. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people. ’ ” — Jeremiah 31: 31 - 33.
Jehoova oli kuulutanud seda ette, öeldes: ” Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Jehoova, mil ma teen Iisraeli sooga ja Juuda sooga uue lepingu:.. leping, mille ma teen Iisraeli sooga pärast neid päevi, ütleb Jehoova, on niisugune: ma panen nende sisse oma käsuõpetuse ja kirjutan selle neile südamesse; siis ma olen neile Jumalaks ja nemad on mulle rahvaks! ”.
