²⁹ In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted.

⁷ Our fathers have sinned -- they are not, We their iniquities have borne.

² `What -- to you, ye -- using this simile Concerning the ground of Israel, saying: Fathers do eat unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted?

³ I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Ye have no more the use of this simile in Israel.

³⁰ But -- each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
