I would say to just read what it says and it is pretty self explanatory!
Who does G-d form the covenant with?
What does G-d say the covenant is?
What will happen once we receive this covenant?
What will we no longer have to do?
How will we be forgiven?
If someone would answer those questions, they would see what Jeremiah is clearly saying, not what one might want it to say or be about.
That's my answer anyway, thanks for the question Blue Bird!
Thanks for your answer!
The covenant is with the house of Israel.
The convenant is new, not like the covenant that God formed with your forefathers.
Does that mean that you have no problems with a convenant not comparable with the one made at mount Sinai? Where does the unease then come from when it is spoken of an old and a new convenant (testament)? I don't use the term old and new testament but I think it would be bibical.
