²‘What do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel:

“The fathers eat sour grapes,^(A)
and the children’s teeth are set on edge”?^(B)

³As I live’ – this is the declaration of the Lord God – ‘you will no longer use this proverb in Israel.^(C) ⁴Look, every life belongs to me.^(D) The life of the father is like the life of the son – both belong to me. The person who sins is the one who will die.^(E)
