Jeremiah 31:21-30 - Repentance And Restoration
21 Set up road marks. Place guideposts! Direct your mind to the highway, the way by which you went. Return, O virgin of Israel. Return to these your cities. 22 How long will you go here and there, O faithless daughter? For Jehovah has created a new thing in the earth. A woman will protect a man.
23 Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel says: Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I restore their prosperity. They will say: 'Jehovah bless you, O abode of righteousness, O holy mountain!' 24 Judah and all its cities will dwell together in it, the farmer and the shepherds with the flocks. 25 For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone filled with sorrow.
26 At this, I woke up and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant.
27 Jehovah says: The time is coming when I will plant the nations of Israel and Judah with people and animals. 28 I watched over them to uproot them and tear them down, to ruin and hurt them. Now I will watch over them to build them up. I will plant them, says Jehovah. 29 When that time comes people will no longer say: 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and their children's teeth are set on edge.'
30 Each person will die for his own sin. Whoever eats sour grapes will have his own teeth set on edge.
