Jeremiah 31:21-30 - Repentance And Restoration
21 Set up markers for yourselves. Erect signposts for yourselves. Pay attention to the highway, to the road you traveled. Return, virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours. 22 How long will you go this way and that, rebellious daughter? Indeed, the LORD will create a new thing on the earth; a woman will protect a man.
23 This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: "They'll again speak this message in the land of Judah and its towns when I restore their fortunes: "The LORD bless you, righteous dwelling, holy mountain.' 24 Judah and all its towns will live together in the land, along with farmers and those who follow the flock. 25 I'll provide abundance for those who are weary, and fill all who are faint."
26 Then I awoke and looked around, and I had had a pleasant sleep.
27 "Look, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I'll sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah using people and animals as seed. 28 Just as I've watched over them to pull up, tear down, overthrow, destroy, and bring disaster, so I'll watch over them to build and to plant," declares the LORD. 29 "In those days people will no longer say, "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, but the children's teeth have been set on edge.'
30 Instead, each person will die for his own iniquity. Everyone who eats sour grapes will have his own teeth set on edge."
