Jeremiah 31:21-30

21“Set up roadmarks for yourself, Place guideposts for yourself; 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 waver, You 4rebellious daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: A woman will shelter a man.”

23This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I 5restore their fortunes, ‘The Lord bless you, O 6place of righteousness, O 7holy hill!’ 24Judah and all its cities will 8live together in it, the farmers and those who travel with flocks. 259For I give plenty of water to the weary ones, and 10refresh everyone who languishes.” 26At this I 11awoke and looked, and my 12sleep had been pleasant to me.

27“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will 13sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of mankind and the seed of animals. 28And just as I have 14watched over them to 15uproot them, tear them down, ruin, destroy, and bring disaster on them, so I will watch over them to 16build and to plant them,” declares the Lord.29“In those days they will no longer say, ‘17The fathers have eaten sour grapes, 18But it is the children’s teeth that have become blunt.’ 30But 19everyone will die for his own wrongdoing; each person who eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will become blunt.
