1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto every man of Judah and to every inhabitant of Jerusalem;
3 and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the Lord God of Israel said: Cursed be the man that does not hear the words of this covenant,
4 which I commanded your fathers the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying unto them, hear my voice and comply with my words according to all which I command you; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God
5 that I may confirm the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, that I would give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered, and said, Amen, O Lord.
