The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, {saying},
2
"Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the {people} of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
3
and say to them, 'Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: "The man is cursed who does not obey the words of this covenant,
4
which I commanded your ancestors in the day of my bringing them from the land of Egypt, from the furnace of iron, {saying}, 'Listen to my voice and do according to all that I command you, {so will you be my people, and I will be your God}.'
5
in order to keep the oath that I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day." '" Then I answered and said, "{Let it be so}, O Yahweh."
