27. The Lord announces, "The days are coming when I will plant the nation of Israel and Judah again. I will plant it with children and young animals.
28. "I watched over Israel and Judah to pull them up by the roots. I tore them down. I crushed them. I destroyed them. I brought horrible trouble on them. But now I will watch over them to build them up and plant them," announces the Lord.
29. "In those days people will no longer say, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes. But the children have a bitter taste in their mouths.'
30. Instead, everyone will die for his own sin. The one who eats sour grapes will taste how bitter they are.
31. "A new day is coming," announces the Lord. "I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel. I will also make it with the people of Judah.
32. It will not be like the covenant I made with their people long ago. That was when I took them by the hand. I led them out of Egypt. But they broke my covenant. They did it even though I was like a husband to them," announces the Lord.
