1. This is the message that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah. He said,
2. “Listen to the terms of this promise, and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem.
3. Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is anyone who doesn’t listen to the terms of this promise.
4. I made this promise to your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, which was an iron smelter. I said, “Obey me, and do everything that I have told you to do. Then you will be my people, and I will be your God.
5. I will keep the oath I made to your ancestors and give them a land flowing with milk and honey, the land you still have today.”’”I answered, “Yes, Lord.”
