Jeremiah 11:1-8 ▼

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:

2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to those dwelling in Jerusalem,

3 and say to them, thus says YHWH God of Israel: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant

4 that I commanded your? fathers in the day I brought them from the land of Egypt, from the furnace iron, saying, ‘Listen to My voice, and do according to all that I command you?, and you? shall be My people, and I shall be your? God,

5 so that I may establish the oath that I swore to your? fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day.” And I answered and said, “Amen, YHWH.

6 And YHWH said to me: “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

7 For I surely testified against your? fathers in the day I brought them from the land of Egypt, and until this day, rising early and warning, I warned, saying, ‘Listen to My voice.’

8 And they did not hear, and they did not incline their ear; each man followed in the stubborness of their evil heart. And I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do and they have not done.”
