29 “In those days they will not say again,
(A)The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are [a]set on edge.’

30 But (B)everyone will die for his own iniquity; each man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be [b]set on edge.

31 (C)Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will cut a (D)new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the (E)covenant which I cut with their fathers in the day I (F)took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My (G)covenant which they broke, but I was a husband to them,” declares Yahweh. 33 “But (H)this is the covenant which I will cut with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Yahweh: “(I)I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and (J)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 And they will (K)not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for they will all (L)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Yahweh, “for I will (M)forgive their iniquity, and their (N)sin I will remember no more.”

29 “In those days they will say no longer, ‘Parents[a] have eaten unripe fruit, and the teeth of the children are set on edge[b].’ 30 But[c] each will die because of his iniquity, everyone[d] who eats the unripe fruit, their teeth will be set on edge.[e]

31 Look, the days are coming,” declares[f] Yahweh, “and I will make[g] a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made[h] with their ancestors[i] on the day of my grasping them[j] by their hand, bringing them out from the land of Egypt, my covenant that they themselves broke, though I myself was a master over them,” declares[k] Yahweh. 33 “But this is the covenant that I will make[l] with the house of Israel after those days,” declares[m] Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts and on their hearts[n] I will write it, and I will be to them God, and they themselves will be to me people. 34 And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor, or each one his brother, saying,[o] ‘Know Yahweh,’ for all of them will know me, from their smallest[p] and up to their greatest,”[q] declares[r] Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember.”

29 “In those days people will no longer say,

‘The parents(A) have eaten sour grapes,
    and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’(B)

30 Instead, everyone will die for their own sin;(C) whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge.

31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant(D)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant(E)
    I made with their ancestors(F)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,(G)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband(H) to[a] them,[b]
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds(I)
    and write it on their hearts.(J)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.(K)
34 No longer will they teach(L) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know(M) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive(N) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins(O) no more.”
