In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
In those days - after their punishment has been completed, and mercy again visits them.
The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge - the proverb among the exiles' children born in Babylon, to express that they suffered the evil consequences of their fathers' sins, rather than of their own (Lamentations 5:7; Exodus 18:2-3).
