The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jere 11:2

"Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Jere 11:3
&
and say to them, `Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Cursed is the man who does not heed the words of this covenant
Jere 11:4
&
which I commanded your forefathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, `Listen to My voice, and do according to all which I command you; so you shall be My people, and I will be your God,'
Jere 11:5

in order to confirm the oath which I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as {it is} this day.""' Then I said, "Amen, O LORD."

Jere 11:8
