2
Hear you 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who doesn't hear the words of this covenant,
4

5
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, Yahweh.
