25 I will strengthen the weary and renew those who are weak.
26 Then I woke up and looked around. What a pleasant sleep I had!
27 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will plant seeds in Israel and Judah, and both people and animals will spring up.
28 Just as I watched over them to dig up and pull down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, so I will watch over them to build and plant, declares the Lord.
29 In those days, people will no longer say:Sour grapes eaten by parentsleave a bitter taste in the mouths of their children.
30 Because everyone will die for their own sins:whoever eats sour grapeswill have a bitter taste in their own mouths.
31 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.
