11This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:H1697H3414H3068H5592"Listen to the terms of this covenant and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem.H8085H1697H1285H1696H376H3063H3427H33893Tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Cursed is everyone who does not obey the terms of this covenant—H559H559H3068H430H3478H779H376H8085H1697H12854the terms I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace.' I said, 'Obey me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.H6680H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1270H3564H559H8085H6963H6213H6680H5971H4305Then I will fulfill the oath I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey'—the land you possess today." I answered, "Amen, LORD."H6965H7621H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H3117H6030H559H543H30686The LORD said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: 'Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow them.H3068H559H7121H1697H5892H3063H2351H3389H559H8085H1697H1285H62137From the time I brought your ancestors up from Egypt until today, I warned them again and again, saying, "Obey me."H5749H5749H1H3117H5927H776H4714H3117H7925H5749H559H8085H69638But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts. So I brought on them all the curses of the covenant I had commanded them to follow but that they did not keep.' "H8085H5186H241H3212H376H8307H7451H3820H935H1697H1285H6680H6213H62139Then the LORD said to me, "There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem.H3068H559H7195H4672H376H3063H3427H338910They have returned to the sins of their ancestors, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their ancestors.H7725H5771H7223H1H3985H8085H1697H1980H310H312H430H5647H1004H3478H1004H3063H6565H1285H3772H111Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.H559H3068H935H7451H3201H3318H2199H808512The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they will not help them at all when disaster strikes.H5892H3063H3427H3389H1980H2199H430H6999H3467H3467H6256H745113You, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns; and the altars you have set up to burn incense to that shameful god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.'H4557H5892H430H3063H4557H2351H3389H7760H4196H1322H4196H6999H116814"Do not pray for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their distress.H6419H5971H5375H7440H8605H8085H6256H7121H745115"What is my beloved doing in my temple as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your punishment? When you engage in your wickedness, then you rejoice. "H3039H1004H6213H4209H7227H6944H1320H5674H7451H593716The LORD called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm he will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken.H3068H7121H8034H7488H2132H3303H8389H6529H6963H1419H1999H3341H784H1808H748917The LORD Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done evil and aroused my anger by burning incense to Baal.H3068H6635H5193H1696H7451H1558H7451H1004H3478H1004H3063H6213H3707H6999H116818Because the LORD revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing.H3068H3045H3045H7200H461119I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying, "Let us destroy the tree and its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more."H3532H441H2986H2873H3045H2803H4284H7843H6086H3899H3772H776H2416H8034H214220But you, LORD Almighty, who judge righteously and test the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for to you I have committed my cause.H3068H6635H8199H6664H974H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H737921"Therefore this is what the LORD says about the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, 'Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD or you will die by our hands'—H559H3068H582H6068H1245H5315H559H5012H8034H3068H4191H302722therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.H559H3068H6635H6485H970H4191H2719H1121H1323H4191H745823Not even a remnant will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.'
