Jeremiah 31:23-32

New International Version

²³This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity,^[a]^(A) the people in the land of Judah and in its towns will once again use these words: ‘The Lord bless^(B) you, you prosperous city,^(C) you sacred mountain.’^(D) ²⁴People will live^(E) together in Judah and all its towns—farmers and those who move about with their flocks.^(F) ²⁵I will refresh the weary^(G) and satisfy the faint.”^(H)

²⁶At this I awoke^(I) and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant to me.

²⁷“The days are coming,”^(J) declares the Lord, “when I will plant^(K) the kingdoms of Israel and Judah with the offspring of people and of animals. ²⁸Just as I watched^(L) over them to uproot^(M) and tear down, and to overthrow, destroy and bring disaster,^(N) so I will watch over them to build and to plant,”^(O) declares the Lord. ²⁹“In those days people will no longer say,

‘The parents^(P) have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’^(Q)

³⁰Instead, everyone will die for their own sin;^(R) whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge.

³¹“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant^(S)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
³²It will not be like the covenant^(T)
    I made with their ancestors^(U)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,^(V)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband^(W) to^[b] them,^[c]”
declares the Lord.
