[34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord : for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord : for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Jeremiah says nothing about anyone's ability to keep the covenant, only that Israel and Judah broke it (did not keep it).

Not true.

Hebrews rephrases it so we get the true meaning.

Hebrews 8:9.. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

And if that was the problem with the old covenant, since it had fault, then the writing of the law in our hearts is the solution so WE CAN CONTINUE IN IT.

Paul describes the inability to keep it since he describing one who tried, had the will to perform but not the power to perform. He could not continue in it. Just read Romans 7.
