Jeremiah 31:28-32 English Standard Version (ESV)

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

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

30. But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

31. “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,

32. not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord.
