The Broken Covenant

1 The word° which° came° to Jeremiah° from the LORD°, saying°, 2aHear° the words° of this° bcovenant°, and speak° to the men° of Judah° and to the inhabitants° of Jerusalem°; 3 and say° to them, ‘Thus° says° the LORD°, the God° of Israel°, “aCursed° is the man° who° does not heed° the words° of this° covenant° 4 which° I commanded° your forefathers° in the aday° that I brought° them out of the land° of Egypt°, from the biron° furnace°, saying°, ‘cListen° to My voice°, and Ido° according to all° which° I command° you; so you shall be dMy people°, and I will be your God°,’ 5 in order° to confirm° the aoath° which° I swore° to your forefathers°, to give° them a land° flowing° with milk° and honey°, as [it is] this° day°.”’” Then I said°, “bAmen°, O LORD°.”

Jeremiah proclaimeth God's Covenant,

1 ¶ The wordº that² came² to² Jeremiahº from²² the LORD,º saying,ºª 2 Hearºª ye² the wordsº of this² covenant,º and speakºª unto² the menº of Judah,º and to² the inhabitantsºª of Jerusalem;º 3 And sayºª thou unto² them, Thus² saithºª the LORDº Godº of Israel;º Cursedºª [be] the manº that² obeyethºª not²² the wordsº of this² covenant,º 4 Which² I commandedºª² your fathersº in the dayº [that] I brought them forthºª² out of the landº² of Egypt,º from the ironº furnace,º² saying,ºª Obeyºª my voice,º and doºª them, according to all² which² I commandºª you: so shall ye be² my people,º and I² will be² your God:º 5 That² I may performºª² the oathº which² I have swornºª unto your fathers,º to giveºª them a landº flowingºª with milkº and honey,º as [it is] this² day.º Then answeredºª I, and said,ºª So be it,º O LORD.º 6 Then the LORDº saidºª unto² me, Proclaimºª² all² these² wordsº in the citiesº of Judah,º and in the streetsº of Jerusalem,º saying,ºª Hearºª ye² the wordsº of this² covenant,º and doºª them. 7 For² I earnestly¹ª protestedºª unto your fathersº in the dayº [that] I brought them upºª² out of the landº² of Egypt,º [even] unto² this² day,º rising earlyºª and protesting,ºª saying,ºª Obeyºª my voice.º

rebuketh the Jews disobeying thereof,

8 Yet they obeyedºª not,² nor² inclinedºª² their ear,º but walked¹ª² every oneº in the imaginationº of their evilº heart:º therefore I will bringºª upon² them² all² the wordsº of this² covenant,º which² I commandedºª [them] to do;ºª but they didºª [them] not.² 9 And the LORDº saidºª unto² me, A conspiracyº is foundºª among the menº of Judah,º and among the inhabitantsºª of Jerusalem.º 10 They are turned backºª to² the iniquitiesº of their forefathers,ºº which² refusedºª to hearºª² my words;º and they² wentºª afterº otherº godsº to serveºª them: the houseº of Israelº and the houseº of Judahº have brokenºª² my covenantº which² I madeºª with² their fathers.º
