Jeremiah 31:32

Spanish RVR 1909 (Más información sobre Biblia Reina Valera 1909)

No como el pacto que hice con sus padres el día que tomé su mano para sacarlos de tierra de Egipto; porque ellos invalidaron mi pacto, bien que fuí yo un marido para ellos, dice Jehová:

¿Qué significa esto?

In this verse, God is speaking and saying that He is not making the same covenant with the Israelites as He did when He led them out of Egypt. The previous covenant was broken by the Israelites, even though God had been faithful to them like a loving husband.

Imagine if you promised to always share your toys with your friend, but then you didn’t. Your friend might say, 'I’m not going to make the same promise again because you didn’t keep it before.' That’s kind of what God is saying here to the Israelites.
