Jeremiah 31:28-30

The Message

^27-28 “Be ready. The time’s coming”—God’s Decree—“when I will plant people and animals in Israel and Judah, just as a farmer plants seed. And in the same way that earlier I relentlessly pulled up and tore down, took apart and demolished, so now I am sticking with them as they start over, building and planting.

²⁹ “When that time comes you won’t hear the old proverb anymore,

³⁰ “No, each person will pay for his own sin. You eat green apples, you’re the one who gets sick.
