Jeremiah 31:29-40
29“In thoseH1992 daysH3117 they will noH3808 longerH5750 sayH559, ‘1The fathersH1 have eatenH398 sourH1155 grapesH1155, 2But it is the children’sH1121 teethH8127 that have becomeH6949 bluntH6949.’ 30But 3everyoneH376 will dieH4191 for his own wrongdoingH5771; eachH3605 personH120 who eatsH398 the sourH1155 grapesH1155, his own teethH8127 will becomeH6949 bluntH6949.
31“4BeholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “when I will makeH3772 a 5newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, 32not like the 6covenantH1285 whichH834 I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 on the dayH3117 I 7tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bringH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, My 8covenantH1285 whichH834 they brokeH6565, although I wasH1166 aH1166 husbandH1166 to them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 33“For 9thisH2088 is the covenantH1285 whichH834 I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 afterH310 thoseH1992 daysH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068: “10I will putH5414 My lawH8451 withinH7130 them and writeH3789 it on their heartH3820; and 11I will be their GodH430, and they shall be My peopleH5971. 34They will 12not teachH3925 againH5750, eachH376 oneH376 his neighborH7453 and eachH376 oneH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, ‘KnowH3045 the LordH3068,’ for they will allH3605 13knowH3045 Me, from the leastH6996 of them to the greatestH1419 of them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “for I will 14forgiveH5545 their wrongdoingH5771, and their 15sinH2403 I will noH3808 longerH5750 rememberH2142.”
35ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559, He who 16givesH5414 the sunH8121 for lightH216 by dayH3119 And the 17fixedH2708 orderH2708 of the moonH3394 and the starsH3556 for lightH216 by nightH3915, Who 18stirsH7280 up the seaH3220 so that its wavesH1530 roarH1993-- 19The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 is His nameH8034:36“20IfH518 21thisH428 fixedH2706 orderH2706 departsH4185 From Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “Then the descendantsH2233 of IsraelH3478 alsoH1571 will 22ceaseH7673 To beH1961 a nationH1471 beforeH6440 Me 23foreverH3605H3117.”37ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “24IfH518 the heavensH8064 aboveH4480H4605 can be measuredH4058 And the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776 searchedH2713 outH2713 belowH4295, Then I will alsoH1571 25rejectH3988 allH3605 the descendantsH2233 of IsraelH3478 For everythingH3605 that they have doneH6213,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
38“BeholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “when the 26cityH5892 will be rebuiltH1129 for the LordH3068 from the 27TowerH4026 of HananelH2606 to the 28CornerH6438 GateH8179. 39The 29measuringH4060 lineH6957 will goH3318 outH3318 fartherH5750 straightH5048 aheadH5048, to the hillH1389 GarebH1619; then it will turnH5437 to GoahH1601. 40And 30the entireH3605 valleyH6010 of the deadH6297 bodiesH6297 and of the ashesH1880, and allH3605 the fieldsH7709 as farH5704 as the brookH5158 31KidronH6939 to the cornerH6438 of the 32HorseH5483 GateH8179 toward the eastH4217, shall be 33holyH6944 to the LordH3068; it will not be uprootedH5428 or overthrownH2040 everH5769 againH5750.”
