“So they returned and said:

²⁵ For I am the Lord. I speak, and ^(A)the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and ^(B)perform it,” says the Lord God.’ ”

²⁶ Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ^27 (C)“Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is ^(D)for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ ^28 (E)Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak ^(F)will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

Curses on Disobedience^(A)

¹⁵ “But it shall come to pass, ^(B)if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

^35 (A)Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

¹¹ Yes, ^(A)all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the ^(B)Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. ¹² And He has ^(C)confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; ^(D)for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.

²⁸ Yet ^(A)a small number who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone to the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose words will stand, Mine or theirs.
