Jeremiah 31:23-33 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

23. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: When I restore their fortunes in the land of Judah and in its cities, they shall again use this greeting: “May the Lord bless you, Tent of Justice, Holy Mountain!”

24. Judah and all its cities, the farmers and those who lead the flock shall dwell there together.

25. For I will slake the thirst of the faint; the appetite of all the weary I will satisfy.

26. At this I awoke and opened my eyes; my sleep was satisfying.

27. See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord—when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of human beings and the seed of animals.

28. As I once watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, to destroy, and to harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant—oracle of the Lord.

29. In those days they shall no longer say,“The parents ate unripe grapes,and the children’s teeth are set on edge,”

30. but all shall die because of their own iniquity: the teeth of anyone who eats unripe grapes shall be set on edge.

31. See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord—when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

32. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke my covenant, though I was their master—oracle of the Lord.

33. But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days—oracle of the Lord. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
