24 The people will live in Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah. Some will be farmers, and others will be shepherds.
25 Those who feel tired and worn out will find new life and energy,
26 and when they sleep, they will wake up refreshed.
27 Some day, Israel and Judah will be my field where my people and their livestock will grow.
28 In the past, I took care to uproot them, to tear them down, and to destroy them. But when that day comes, I will take care to plant them and help them grow.
29 No longer will anyone go around saying,“Sour grapes eaten by parentsleave a sour taste in the mouthsof their children.”
30 When that day comes, only those who eat sour grapes will get the sour taste, and only those who sin will be put to death.
