29 “At that time people will no longer say:‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes.And that caused the children to grind their teeth from the sour taste.’
30 But each person will die for his own sin. The person who eats sour grapes will grind his own teeth.
31 “Look, the time is coming,” says the Lord,“when I will make a new agreement.It will be with the people of Israeland the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the agreementI made with their ancestors.That was when I took them by the handto bring them out of Egypt.I was a husband to them,but they broke that agreement,” says the Lord.
33 “I will make this agreementwith the people of Israel,” says the Lord.“I will put my teachings in their minds.And I will write them on their hearts.I will be their God,and they will be my people.
34 People will no longer have to teach their neighbors and relativesto know the Lord.This is because all people will know me,from the least to the most important,” says the Lord.“I will forgive them for the wicked things they did.I will not remember their sins anymore.”
35 This is what the Lord says:“The Lord makes the sun shine in the day.And he makes the moon and stars shine at night.He stirs up the sea so that its waves crash on the shore.The Lord of heaven’s armies is his name.
