Jeremiah 31:21-30
English Standard Version
21 (A)“Set up road markers for yourself;
make yourself guideposts;
(B)consider well the highway,
(C)the road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.
22 (D)How long will you waver,
(E)O faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
a woman encircles a man.”
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Once more they shall use these words in the land of Judah and in its cities, (F)when I restore their fortunes:
24 (J)And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and (K)the farmers and those who wander with their flocks. 25 For I will (L)satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
27 (M)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when (N)I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with (O)the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass that (P)as I have watched over them (Q)to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, (R)so I will watch over them (S)to build and to plant, declares the Lord. 29 In those days they shall no longer say:
(T)“‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge.’
30 (U)But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
