Jeremiah 31:28 Context
26Upon this I awaked and beheld, and my sleepe was sweete vnto me. 27¶ Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. 28And it shall come to passe, that like as I haue watched ouer them, to plucke vp and to breake downe, and to throw downe, and to destroy, and to afflict: so will I watch ouer them, to build and to plant, saith the Lord. 29In those dayes they shall say no more, The fathers haue eaten a sowre grape, and the childrens teeth are set on edge. 30But euery one shall die for his owne iniquitie, euery man that eateth the sowre grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
