Jer 31:27-30 | Clarke | STEP | Verse 27 I will sow - with the seed of man and with the seed of beast

Jeremiah 31:27-30

Verse 27

I will sow - with the seed of man and with the seed of beast - I will multiply both men and cattle. Verse 29

The fathers have eaten a sour grape - A proverbial expression for, "The children suffer for the offenses of their parents." This is explained in the next verse: "Every one shall die for his own iniquity." No child shall suffer Divine punition for the sin of his father; only so far as he acts in the same way can he be said to bear the sins of his parents.
