Jeremiah 31:29-40

29“In those days they will not say again, ‘1The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are 2set on edge.’ 30But 3everyone will die for his own iniquity; each man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be 4set on edge.

31“5Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a 6new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32not like the 7covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I 8took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My 9covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33“But 10this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “11I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and 12I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34They will 13not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all 14know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will 15forgive their iniquity, and their 16sin I will remember no more.”

35Thus says the Lord, Who 17gives the sun for light by day And the 18fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who 19stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; 20The Lord of hosts is His name:36“21If 22this fixed order departs From before Me,” declares the Lord, “Then the offspring of Israel also will 23cease From being a nation before Me 24forever.”37Thus says the Lord, “25If the heavens above can be measured And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also 26cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done,” declares the Lord.

38“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the 27city will be rebuilt for the Lord from the 28Tower of Hananel to the 29Corner Gate. 39The 30measuring line will go out farther straight ahead to the hill Gareb; then it will turn to Goah. 40And 31the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook 32Kidron, to the corner of the 33Horse Gate toward the east, shall be 34holy to the Lord; it will not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever.”
