In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

The verse 29 is found in chapter 31 of Jeremiah. Judah will again receive blessing and the cities will be inhabited. Personal responsibility begins to occupy an important place: it will no longer simply be said that the fathers ate sour grapes and the children suffered. Each person will be responsible for his own sin, anticipating a more individual understanding of justice.

Zu derselben Zeit wird man nicht mehr sagen: "Die Väter haben Herlinge gegessen, und der Kinder Zähne sind stumpf geworden":
En aquellos días no dirán más: Los padres comieron las uvas agraces, y los dientes de los hijos tienen la dentera.
En aquellos días ya no dirán: “Los padres comieron uvas agrias y los dientes de los hijos tienen dentera”.
En ces jours-là, on ne dira plus: Les pères ont mangé des raisins verts, Et les dents des enfants en ont été agacées.
In que’ giorni non si dirà più: I padri han mangiato l’agresto, e i denti de’ figliuoli ne sono allegati.
Naqueles dias nunca mais dirão: Os pais comeram uvas verdes, e os dentes dos filhos se embotaram.
當那些日子,人不再說: 『父親吃了酸葡萄, 兒子牙齒就酸倒。』
