28 In the past I watched over Israel and Judah, but I watched for the time to pull them up. I tore them down. I destroyed them. I gave many troubles to them. But now I will watch over them to build them up and make them strong.” This message is from the Lord.

29 “People will not use this saying anymore:

‘The parents ate the sour grapes,
    but the children got the sour taste.’[a]

30 No, people will die for their own sins. Those who eat sour grapes will get the sour taste.”
