27. ‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will plant the kingdoms of Israel and Judah with the offspring of people and of animals.
28. Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, and to overthrow, destroy and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,’ declares the Lord.
29. ‘In those days people will no longer say,“The parents have eaten sour grapes,and the children’s teeth are set on edge.”
30. Instead, everyone will die for their own sin; 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 covenantwith the people of Israeland with the people of Judah.
32. It will not be like the covenantI made with their ancestorswhen I took them by the handto lead them out of Egypt,because they broke my covenant,though I was a husband to them,’declares the Lord.
33. ‘This is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israelafter that time,’ declares the Lord.‘I will put my law in their mindsand write it on their hearts.I will be their God,and they will be my people.
