Jeremiah 31:27-29

Revised Standard Version

Individual Retribution

²⁷“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. ²⁸And it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the Lord. ²⁹In those days they shall no longer say:

‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
