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.
31 The Lord said:The time will surely come when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
32 It will be different from the agreement I made with their ancestors when I led them out of Egypt. Although I was their God, they broke that agreement.
33 Here is the new agreement that I, the Lord, will make with the people of Israel:“I will write my lawson their hearts and minds.I will be their God,and they will be my people.
