Jeremiah 31:21-30 - Repentance And Restoration

21 Set up signposts, make yourself landmarks: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities. 22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall protect a man.

23 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Yet again they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O home of justice, and mountain of holiness. 24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all its cities together, farmers, and they that go forth with flocks. 25 For I have fully satisfied the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

27 Behold, the days come, says the 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 as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the LORD. 29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

30 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
