11The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,^a ²“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the people^b of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, ³and say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “The man is cursed who does not obey the words of this covenant, ⁴which I commanded your ancestors^c in the day of my bringing them from the land of Egypt, from the furnace of iron, saying,^d ‘Listen to my voice and do according to all that I command you, so will you be my people, and I will be your God.’^e ⁵in order to keep the oath that I swore to your ancestors,^f to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.” ’ ” Then I answered and said, “Let it be so,^g O Yahweh.”

⁶And Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying,^h ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them, ⁷for I solemnly admonished your ancestorsⁱ in the day of my leading them out from the land of Egypt and up to this day, admonishing persistently,^j saying,^k “Obey my voice.” ⁸But they did not obey and they did not incline their ear. Instead each one walked in the stubbornness of his^l evil heart. Therefore, I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them^m to do, and they did not do it.’ ”ⁿ

⁹And Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the people^o of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
