⁶ The Lord said to me, “Proclaim^(A) all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: ‘Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow^(B) them. ⁷ From the time I brought your ancestors up from Egypt until today, I warned them again and again,^(C) saying, “Obey me.” ⁸ But they did not listen or pay attention;^(D) instead, they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts.^(E) So I brought on them all the curses^(F) of the covenant I had commanded them to follow but that they did not keep.^(G)’”
