Summary
Undoubtedly one of the most misused texts in the OT is the passage in Jer. 31 where the prophet speaks about the New Covenant. The context is very clearly a poetic and prophetic discussion about the restoration of Israel and Judah after the exile, and as such it is much like similar discussions in Third Isaiah (Isa. 56–66).
