³⁰ Rather, each will die for his own iniquity.^(E) Anyone who eats sour grapes—his own teeth will be set on edge.

The New Covenant

³¹ “Look, the days are coming”^(F)—this is the Lord’s declaration—“when I will make a new covenant^(G) 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](H)—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,’^(I) for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them”^(J)—this is the Lord’s declaration. “For I will forgive their iniquity^(K) and never again remember their sin.
