Jeremiah 11 — Context

1

The People Have Violated Their Covenant with God The LORD said to Jeremiah:

2

“Hear the terms of the covenant I made with Israel and pass them on to the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem.

3

Tell them that the LORD, the God of Israel, says,‘Anyone who does not keep the terms of the covenant will be under a curse.

4

Those are the terms that I charged your ancestors to keep when I brought them out of Egypt, that place which was like an iron-smelting furnace. I said at that time,“Obey me and carry out the terms of the covenant exactly as I commanded you. If you do, you will be my people and I will be your God.
