Jeremiah 31:23-40.(GNT).

Jeremiah 31:23-40 (Good News Translation)

 23The
         LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says,
         "When I restore the people to their land, they will once again
say in the land of Judah and in its towns,

                          'May the
             LORD bless the sacred hill
              of Jerusalem,

            the holy place where he lives.'
              24People will live in Judah and in all its towns, and there
will be farmers, and shepherds with their flocks.
          25I will refresh those who are weary and will satisfy with food
everyone who is weak from hunger.
          26So then, people will say,
         "I went to sleep and woke up refreshed."

          27I, the
         LORD, say that the time is coming when I will fill the land of
Israel and Judah with people and animals.
          28And just as I took care to uproot, to pull down, to
overthrow, to destroy, and to demolish them, so I will take care to plant
them and to build them up.

          29When that time comes, people will no longer say,

                          'The parents ate the sour grapes,

            But the children got the sour taste.'
              30Instead, those who eat sour grapes will have their own
teeth set on edge; and everyone will die because of their own sin.
         "


          31The
         LORD says,
         "The time is coming when I will make a new covenant with the
people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
          32It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their
ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. Although
I was like a husband to them, they did not keep that covenant.

          33The new covenant that I will make with the people of Israel
will be this: I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God, and they will be my people.

          34None of them will have to teach a neighbor to know the
         LORD, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest.
I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I,
the
         LORD, have spoken.
         "
          35The
             LORD provides the sun for light by day,

            the moon and the stars to shine at night.
            He stirs up the sea and makes it roar;
            his name is the
             LORD Almighty.
              36He promises that as long as the natural order lasts,

            so long will Israel be a nation.
              37If one day the sky could be measured

            and the foundations of the earth explored,
            only then would he reject the people of Israel
            because of all they have done.
            The
             LORD has spoken.

          38"The time is coming," says the
         LORD,
         "when all of Jerusalem will be rebuilt as my city, from
Hananel Tower west to the Corner Gate.
          39And the boundary line will continue from there on the west to
the hill of Gareb and then around to Goah.
          40The entire valley, where the dead are buried and garbage is
dumped, and all the fields above Kidron Brook as far as the Horse Gate to
the east, will be sacred to me. The city will never again be torn down or
destroyed.
         "
God bless you.
