1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

2 Hear you the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

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.
