← Jeremiah 31:28	Jeremiah 31:29 (KJV)	Jeremiah 31:30 →
And it shall come to pass, [that] like 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, saith the LORD.	In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.	But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
