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.
32 It won’t be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant with me even though I was their husband, declares the Lord.
33 No, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my Instructions within them and engrave them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
