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.
6 And the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant and do them.
