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 shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. 30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

31 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; [a]which my covenant they brake, although I was [b]a husband unto them, saith Jehovah. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.
