Jeremiah 11:1-5

Modern English Version

The Broken Covenant

11 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 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.”
