The passage describes God establishing a new covenant with Israel and Judah that will be different from the Mosaic covenant. Under the new covenant, God will write His law on their hearts and minds instead of tablets of stone. All people will know God directly and He will forgive their sins. This new covenant will not be broken as the Mosaic covenant was.

1. Jeremiah 31:29-31
In those days they shall no longer say: “‘The
fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the
children's teeth are set on edge.’ But
everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each
man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be
set on edge. Behold, the days are coming”,
declares the Lord, “when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and the
house of Judah,

2. Jeremiah 31:32-33
not like the covenant that I made with their
fathers on the day when I took them by the
hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt,
My covenant that they broke, though I was
their husband”, declares the Lord. “For this
is the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel after those days”, declares
the Lord:

3. Jeremiah 31:33-34
“I will put my law within them, and I will
write it on their hearts. And I will be their
God, and they shall be My people. And no
longer shall each one teach his neighbor and
each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for
they shall all know me, from the least of
them to the greatest”, declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.”

11:23-26 as a blessing of the elements and
a remembrance of our Savior’s sacrifice.
