Jeremiah 31:21-30 - Repentance And Restoration

21 Get the watchman, provide teachers for thee: set thine heart upon the right way, that thou shouldest walk, and turn again, O thou daughter of Israel; turn again to these cities of thine. 22 How long wilt thou go astray, O thou shrinking daughter? For the LORD will work a new thing upon earth: A woman shall compass a man.

23 For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: It will come thereto, that when I have brought Judah out of captivity, these words shall be heard in the land and in his cities, 'The LORD, which is the fair bridegroom of righteousness, make thee fruitful O thou holy hill!' 24 And there shall dwell Judah, and all her cities, the shepherds and husbandmen: 25 For I shall feed the hungry soul, and refresh all faint hearts."

26 When I heard this, I came again to myself, and mused, like as I had been waked out of a sweet sleep.

27 "Behold, sayeth the LORD, the days come, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with men and with cattle. 28 Yea it shall come thereto, that like as I have gone about in times past to root them out, to scatter them, to break them down, to destroy them and chasten them: Even so will I also go diligently about, to build them up again, and to plant them, sayeth the LORD. 29 Then shall it no more be said, 'The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'

30 For every one shall die for his own misdeed, so that who so eateth a sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
