Jeremiah 11:2-4

Good News Translation

² “Listen to the terms of the covenant. Tell the people of Judah and of Jerusalem ³ that I, the Lord God of Israel, have placed a curse on everyone who does not obey the terms of this covenant. ⁴ It is the covenant I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, the land that was like a blazing furnace to them. I told them to obey me and to do everything that I had commanded. I told them that if they obeyed, they would be my people and I would be their God.
