2 Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 And say you to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey My voice, and do according to all which I command you. So you shall be My people, and I will be your God,
5 that I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.Then I answered and said, “So be it, O Lord.”
6 Then the Lord 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 earnestly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and warning, saying, Obey My voice.
8 Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the imagination of their evil heart. Therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they did not do.
