Jeremiah 31:28-30

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁸ In past time, I chose to pull them out of their land, like a plant with its roots. I knocked them down and I destroyed them. But now I will put them in their land again, like strong plants.’ That is what the Lord says.

²⁹ ‘When that happens, people will not say, “The fathers have eaten bitter fruit, but it causes their children's teeth to hurt.”^{[a] 30} Instead, I will punish everyone for their own sins. It will be the teeth of the person who eats bitter fruit that will hurt.’
