Jeremiah 31:21-30

21“Set up signposts, Make landmarks; Set your heart toward the highway, The way in which you went. Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back to these your cities.

22How long will you gad about, O you backsliding daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth— A woman shall encompass a man.”

23Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “They shall again use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: ‘The Lord bless you, O home of justice, and mountain of holiness!’

24And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks.

25For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”

26After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me.

27“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast.

28And it shall come to pass, that as I have watched over them to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the Lord.

29In those days they shall say no more: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’

30But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
