Hebrews
Hebrews quotes the new covenant promise: God will put his laws into minds and write them on hearts, and he will be their God and they will be his people. It also says, “I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more” (Hebrews 8:10–12). These lines are presented as the covenant’s key promises.
10"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 into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be to them a God, And they will be to me a people.
11They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, Every man his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,` For all will know me, From the least of them to the greatest of them.
12For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."
