6 Mas ahora tanto mejor ministerio es el suyo, cuanto es mediador de un mejor pacto, el cual ha sido formado sobre mejores promesas.

7 Porque si aquel primero fuera sin falta, cierto no se hubiera procurado lugar de segundo.

8 Porque reprendiéndolos dice: He aquí vienen días, dice el Señor, Y consumaré para con la casa de Israel y para con la casa de Judá un nuevo pacto;

9 No como el pacto que hice con sus padres El día que los tomé por la mano para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto: Porque ellos no permanecieron en mi pacto, Y yo los menosprecié, dice el Señor.

10 Por lo cual, este es el pacto que ordenaré á la casa de Israel Después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: Daré mis leyes en el alma de ellos, Y sobre el corazón de ellos las escribiré; Y seré á ellos por Dios, Y ellos me serán á mí por pueblo:

11 Y ninguno eneseñará á su prójimo, Ni ninguno á su hermano, diciendo: Conoce al Señor: Porque todos me conocerán, Desde el menor de ellos hasta el mayor.

12 Porque seré propicio á sus injusticias, Y de sus pecados y de sus iniquidades no me acordaré más.

13 Diciendo, Nuevo pacto, dió por viejo al primero; y lo que es dado por viejo y se envejece, cerca está de desvanecerse.

6 But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

7 For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.

8 For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

9 Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

10 For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

11 And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

12 And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.

13 When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.
