22. How long will you waver, O unfaithful daughter? For Yahweh has created a new thing on the earth, a woman, she shelters a man.”
23. Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “They will again say these words in the land of Judah and in its towns at my restoring their fortunes, ‘Yahweh bless you, O settlement of righteousness, O hill of holiness.’
24. And Judah and all of its towns together will live in it, farmers and those who travel with the flocks.
25. For I will saturate the thirst of the weary, and every person who languishes I will replenish.”
26. At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
27. “Look, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of humankind, and with the seed of animals.
28. And then as I have watched over them to pull up, and to tear down, and to annihilate, and to destroy, and to do evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares Yahweh.
29. “In those days they will say no longer, ‘Parents have eaten unripe fruit, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
30. But each will die because of his iniquity, everyone who eats the unripe fruit, their teeth will be set on edge.
31. Look, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
32. not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day of my grasping them by their hand, bringing them out from the land of Egypt, my covenant that they themselves broke, though I myself was a master over them,” declares Yahweh.
