Jer 11:1-4 The Message that came to Jeremiah from GOD: 2 "Preach to the people of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem. 3 Tell them this: 'This is GOD's Message, the Message of Israel's God to you. Anyone who does not keep the terms of this covenant is cursed. 4 The terms are clear. I made them plain to your ancestors when I delivered them from Egypt, out of the iron furnace of suffering. "'Obey what I tell you. Do exactly what I command you. Your obedience will close the deal.
