And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins.
This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; `then saith he,' And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
