Jeremiah 31:29-34
English Standard Version
29 In those days they shall no longer say:
(A)“‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge.’
30 (B)But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
The New Covenant
31 (C)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make (D)a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when (E)I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, (F)though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 (G)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: (H)I will put my law within them, and I will write it (I)on their hearts. (J)And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ (K)for they shall all know me, (L)from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For (M)I will forgive their iniquity, and (N)I will remember their sin no more.”

Jeremiah 31:29-34
Common English Bible
29 In those days, people will no longer say:
Sour grapes eaten by parents
leave a bitter taste in the mouths of their children.
30 Because everyone will die for their own sins:
whoever eats sour grapes
will have a bitter taste in their own mouths.
31 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. 32 It won’t be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant with me even though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 No, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my Instructions within them and engrave them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 They will no longer need to teach each other to say, “Know the Lord!” because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord; for I will forgive their wrongdoing and never again remember their sins.
