1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2. “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3. and say to them, the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,
4. which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5. that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.”Then answered I, and said, “Amen, Lord.”
