1 This is the message that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah. He said,
2 “Listen to the terms of this promise, and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem.
3 Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is anyone who doesn’t listen to the terms of this promise.
4 I made this promise to your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, which was an iron smelter. I said, “Obey me, and do everything that I have told you to do. Then you will be my people, and I will be your God.
5 I will keep the oath I made to your ancestors and give them a land flowing with milk and honey, the land you still have today.”’”I answered, “Yes, Lord.”
6 The Lord said to me, “Announce all these things in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Listen to the terms of this promise, and keep them.
7 I solemnly warned your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, and the warning still applies to you today. I solemnly warned them to obey me.
