Jeremiah 31:21-30 - Repentance And Restoration

21 Set thee up road marks. Make thee guideposts. Set thy heart toward the highway, even the way by which thou went. Turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. 22 How long will thou go here and there, O thou backsliding daughter? For LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man.

23 Thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof when I shall bring again their captivity: LORD bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, O mountain of 24 And Judah and all the cities thereof shall dwell in there together, the husbandmen, and those who go about with flocks. 25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul I have replenished.

26 Upon this I awoke, and beheld, and my sleep was sweet to me.

27 Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass that, just as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says LORD. 29 In those days they shall no more say, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the son's teeth are set on edge.

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