23  Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;

As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof,

kWhen I shall bring again their captivity;

lThe Lord bless thee, mO habitation of justice, and nmountain of holiness.

24  And there shall dwell in Judah itself,

And oin all the cities thereof together,

Husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.

25  For I have psatiated the qweary soul,

And I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

26  Upon this I awaked, and beheld;

And my sleep was sweet unto me.

27  Behold, rthe days come, saith the Lord,

That sI will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah

With tthe seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

28  And it shall come to pass, that ttlike as uI have watched over them,

vTo pluck up, and vto break down, vand to throw down,

vAnd to destroy, and to afflict;

ttSo will I watch over them, to vwbuild, and to plant, saith the Lord.

29  xIn those days they shall say no more,

The fathers have eaten a sour grape,

And the children’s teeth yare set on edge.

30  zBut every one shall die for his own iniquity:

Every man that eateth the sour grape,

His teeth shall be set on edge.

31  aBehold, rthe days come, saith the Lord,

That I will make ba new covenant

With the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers

In the day that cI took them by the hand

To bring them out of the land of Egypt;

Which my covenant they brake,

||Although dI was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

33  eBut this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;

After those days, saith the Lord,

efI will put my law in their inward parts,

And write it in their hearts;

And gwill be their God,

And they shall be my people.

34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,

Know the Lord:

For hthey shall all know me,

iFrom the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord:

For I klwill forgive their iniquity,

kAnd mI will remember their sin no more.
