“ What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying:‘ The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are set on edge’?“ As I live,” says the Lord GOD,“ you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel.

“ Indeed everyone who quotes proverbs will use this proverb against you:‘ Like mother, like daughter!’
