Jeremiah 31:29-34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
29 In those days they shall no longer say:
“The parents have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge.”(A)
30 But all shall die for their own sins; the teeth of the one who eats sour grapes shall be set on edge.(B)
A New Covenant
31 The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.(C) 32 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord.(D) 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.(E) 34 No longer shall they teach one another or say to each other, “Know the Lord,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and remember their sin no more.(F)

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.”
