28 As I have (A)watched over them to (B)pluck up, to break down, to overthrow, to destroy and to bring disaster, so I will watch over them to (C)build and to plant,” declares the Lord.

29 “In those days they will not say again,
(D)The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are [a]set on edge.’

30 But (E)everyone will die for his own iniquity; each man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be [b]set on edge.
