031:028 It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up
and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict,
so will I watch over them to build and to plant, says Yahweh.
031:029 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten
sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
031:030 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats
the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
031:031 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
031:032 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them
out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke,
although I was a husband to them, says Yahweh.
031:033 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house
of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law
in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
031:034 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man
his brother, saying, Know Yahweh; for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yahweh:
for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I
remember no more.
031:035 Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day,
and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light
by night, who stirs up the sea, so that the waves of it roar;
Yahweh of Armies is his name:
031:036 If these ordinances depart from before me, says Yahweh,
then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation
before me forever.
031:037 Thus says Yahweh: If heaven above can be measured,
and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
then will I also cast off all the seed of Israel for all
that they have done, says Yahweh.
031:038 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that the city shall be built
to Yahweh from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
031:039 The measuring line shall go out further straight onward
to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
031:040 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes,
and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner
of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to Yahweh;
it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever.
032:001 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth
year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth
year of Nebuchadnezzar.
032:002 Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem;
and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard,
which was in the king of Judah's house.
