Commentators agree that "this covenant" refers to the Book of the Law (likely Deuteronomy) rediscovered during King Josiah's reign. Jeremiah was not introducing a new message but calling the people back to the specific, foundational agreement they had recently reaffirmed with God, making their disobedience a direct violation of a fresh promise.
