Jeremiah 31:21-37 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

21. Set up signposts, make yourself landmarks: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.

22. How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall protect a man.

23. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;

24. And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all its cities together, farmers, and they that go forth with flocks.

25. For I have fully satisfied the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

26. Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

27. Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

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

29. In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

30. But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

31. Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; my covenant which they broke, although I was a husband unto them, says the LORD:

33. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,

35. Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the fixed order of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who divides the sea when its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

36. If those fixed orders depart from before me,

37. Thus says the LORD;
