Jeremiah 31:21-30
21“Set up for yourself roadmarks, Place for yourself guideposts; 1Direct your 2mind to the highway, The way by which you went. 3Return, O virgin of Israel, Return to these your cities.22How long will you go here and there, O 4faithless daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth-- A woman will encompass a man.”
23Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I 5restore their 6fortunes, ‘The Lord bless you, O 7abode of righteousness, O 8holy hill!’ 24Judah and all its cities will 9dwell together in it, the farmer and they who go about with flocks. 2510For I satisfy the weary ones and 11refresh everyone who languishes.” 26At this I 12awoke and looked, and my 13sleep was pleasant to me.
27“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will 14sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast. 28As I have 15watched over them to 16pluck up, to break down, to overthrow, to destroy and to bring disaster, so I will watch over them to 17build and to plant,” declares the Lord.29“In those days they will not say again, ‘18The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are 19set on edge.’ 30But 20everyone will die for his own iniquity; each man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be 21set on edge.
