Jeremiah 31:25-34 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

25. I will refresh those who are weary and will satisfy with food everyone who is weak from hunger.

26. So then, people will say, ‘I went to sleep and woke up refreshed.’

27. “I, the Lord, say that the time is coming when I will fill the land of Israel and Judah with people and animals.

28. And just as I took care to uproot, to pull down, to overthrow, to destroy, and to demolish them, so I will take care to plant them and to build them up.

29. When that time comes, people will no longer say,‘The parents ate the sour grapes,But the children got the sour taste.’

30. Instead, all those who eat sour grapes will have their own teeth set on edge; and they will all die because of their own sin.”

31. The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

32. It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. Although I was like a husband to them, they did not keep that covenant.

33. The new covenant that I will make with the people of Israel will be this: I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

34. None of them will have to teach his fellow-citizen to know the Lord, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
