27 "The days are coming"—[this is] the LORD's declaration—"when I will sow the house of Israel (
AA) and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 Just as I watched over them to uproot and to tear them down, to demolish and to destroy, and to cause disaster, so will I be attentive to build and to plant them," (
AB) says the LORD. 29 "In those days, it will never again be said:
The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on edge. (
AC) 30 Rather, each will die for his own wrongdoing. (
AD) Anyone who eats sour grapes—his own teeth will be set on edge.
The New Covenant
31 "Look, the days are coming"—[this is] the LORD's declaration—"when I will make a new covenant (
AE) 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 when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant they broke even though I had married them" (
AF) —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 place My law [i] 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, (AG) for they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them"—the LORD's declaration. "For I will forgive their wrongdoing (
AH) and never again remember their sin." (
