Jeremiah 31:29-34
Christian Standard Bible
29 “In those days, it will never again be said,
‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’(A)
30 Rather, each will die for his own iniquity.(B) Anyone who eats sour grapes—his own teeth will be set on edge.
The New Covenant
31 “Look, the days are coming”(C)—this is the Lord’s declaration—“when I will make a new covenant(D) with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 32 This one will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt—my covenant that they broke even though I am their master”[a](E)—the Lord’s declaration. 33 “Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days”—the Lord’s declaration. “I will put my teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 No longer will one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’(F) for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them”(G)—this is the Lord’s declaration. “For I will forgive their iniquity(H) and never again remember their sin.

Jeremiah 31:29-34
New American Standard Bible
29 “In those days they will no longer say,
‘(A)The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
[a]But it is the children’s teeth that have become blunt.’
30 But (B)everyone will die for his own wrongdoing; each person who eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will become blunt.
31 “(C)Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a (D)new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the (E)covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I (F)took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My (G)covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “For (H)this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “(I)I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and (J)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will (K)not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all (L)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will (M)forgive their wrongdoing, and their (N)sin I will no longer remember.”
