Jeremiah 11:1-5

International Standard Version

The Broken Covenant

11 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: ² “Listen to the words of this covenant, and convey them to the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem. ³ You are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God of Israel says: “Cursed is the person who does not listen to the words of this covenant ⁴ which I commanded to your ancestors on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace. I said, ‘Obey me and do everything^[a] that I commanded you. Then you will be my people and I’ll be your God.’ ⁵ As a result, I’ll fulfill the oath that I made with your ancestors to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, just as is the case today.”’”

Then I answered, “So be it,^[b] Lord.”
