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.”

  1. Jeremiah 31:29 I.e., the children suffer for the fathers’ sins

29 “The people will no longer quote this proverb:

‘The parents have eaten sour grapes,
    but their children’s mouths pucker at the taste.’

30 All people will die for their own sins—those who eat the sour grapes will be the ones whose mouths will pucker.

31 “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. 32 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord.

33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”
