Jeremiah 11:1-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

Judah Has Disobeyed the Terms of the Lord’s Promise

11 This is the message that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah. He said, ² “Listen to the terms of this promise,^[a] 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.”
