“In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.”
The proverb 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge' describes the doctrine of corporate punishment. This proverb expresses resignation to inherited judgment. The statement functions as a foil for the revolutionary claim in verse 30.
