29“When that time comes you won’t hear the old proverb anymore,

Parents ate the green apples,

their children got the stomachache.

30“No, each person will pay for his own sin. You eat green apples, you’re the one who gets sick.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

In those days they shall no longer say:

“ ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,

and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’

But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“In those days people will no longer say,

‘The parents have eaten sour grapes,

and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’

Instead, everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

“In those days, it will never again be said,

‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,

and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’

Rather, each will die for his own iniquity. Anyone who eats sour grapes—his own teeth will be set on edge.

NLTNew Living Translation

“The people will no longer quote this proverb:

‘The parents have eaten sour grapes,

but their children’s mouths pucker at the taste.’

All people will die for their own sins—those who eat the sour grapes will be the ones whose mouths will pucker.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“In those days they will say no longer, ‘Parents have eaten unripe fruit, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’ But each will die because of his iniquity, everyone who eats the unripe fruit, their teeth will be set on edge.

KJV 1900King James Version

In those days they shall say no more,

The fathers have eaten a sour grape,

And the children’s teeth are set on edge.

But every one shall die for his own iniquity:

Every man that eateth the sour grape,

His teeth shall be set on edge.
