Jeremiah 11:2-8

2HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and speakH1696 unto the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; 3and sayH559 thou unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: CursedH779 be the manH376 that heareth not the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, 4which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the ironH1270 furnaceH3564, sayingH559, Obey my voiceH6963, and do them, according to all which I commandH6680 you: so shall ye beH1961 my peopleH5971, and I will beH1961 your GodH430; 5that I may establishH6965 the oathH7621 which I sware unto your fathersH1, to giveH5414 them a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, as at this dayH3117. Then answered I, and saidH559, AmenH543, O Jehovah.

6And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, ProclaimH7121 all these wordsH1697 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and do them. 7For I earnestly protested unto your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I broughtH5927 them up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, risingH7925 earlyH7925 and protesting, sayingH559, Obey my voiceH6963. 8Yet they obeyed not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walked every oneH376 in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820: therefore I broughtH935 upon them all the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, which I commandedH6680 them to do, but they did them not.
