Jeremiah 31:28
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
In context
26 At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
27 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
28 Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
29 “In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
30 Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.
