Jeremias 31:23-32 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

23. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As yet shall they say this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring back their captivity: The Lord bless thee, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.

24. And Juda and all his cities shall dwell therein together: the husbandmen and they that drive the docks.

25. For I have inebriated the weary soul: and I have filled every hungry soul.

26. Upon this I was as it were awaked out of a sleep, and I saw, and my sleep was sweet to me.

27. Behold the days come, saith the Lord: and I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of beasts.

28. And as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to throw down, and to scatter, and destroy, and afflict: so will I watch over them, to build up, and to plant them, saith the Lord.

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

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

31. Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:

32. Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt: the covenant which they made void, and I had dominion over them, saith the Lord.
