Jeremiah 31:29-34
World English Bible
29 “In those days they will say no more,
“‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
30 But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
31 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh,
“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;
which covenant of mine they broke,
although I was a husband to them,” says Yahweh.
33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,”
says Yahweh:
“I will put my law in their inward parts,
and I will write it in their heart.
I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
34 They will no longer each teach his neighbor,
and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh;’
for they will all know me,
from their least to their greatest,” says Yahweh:
“for I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more.”
Jeremiah 31:29-34
New American Standard Bible
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.”
