Jeremiah 31:26–34

²⁶So then, people will say, ‘I went to sleep and woke up refreshed.’

²⁷“I, the Lord, say that the time is coming when I will fill the land of Israel and Judah with people and animals. ²⁸And just as I took care to uproot, to pull down, to overthrow, to destroy, and to demolish them, so I will take care to plant them and to build them up. ^29*When that time comes, people will no longer say, ‘The parents ate the sour grapes, But the children got the sour taste.’

³⁰Instead, all those who eat sour grapes will have their own teeth set on edge; and they will all die because of their own sin.”

^31*The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. ^32*It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. Although I was like a husband to them, they did not keep that covenant. ^33*The new covenant that I will make with the people of Israel will be this: I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. ^34*None of them will have to teach his fellow-citizen to know the Lord, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
