the God of Israel :
Cursed be the man that heareth not the words of this covenant ,

which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt ,
out of the iron furnace ,
saying ,
Obey my voice ,
and do them ,
according to all which I command you :
so shall ye be my people ,
and I will be your God ;
asv @

that I may establish the oath which I sware unto your fathers ,
to give them a land flowing with milk and honey ,
as at this day .

Amen ,
O Jehovah .

Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah ,

Obey my voice .

Yet they obeyed not ,

which I commanded them to do ,
but they did them not .

A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah ,
and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem .
asv @
Jeremiah:11:10 @
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers ,
who refused to hear my words ;
and they are gone after other gods to serve them :
the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers .
asv @
Jeremiah:11:11 @
Therefore thus saith Jehovah ,
Behold ,
I will bring evil upon them ,
which they shall not be able to escape ;
and they shall cry unto me ,
but I will not hearken unto them .

Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto which they offer incense :
but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble .
asv @
Jeremiah:11:13 @
For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods ,
O Judah ;
and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the shameful thing ,
even altars to burn incense unto Baal .

Therefore pray not thou for this people ,
neither lift up cry nor prayer for them ;
for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me because of their trouble .

What hath my beloved to do in my house ,
seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many ,
and the holy flesh is passed from thee ?
when thou doest evil ,
then thou rejoicest .

Jehovah called thy name ,
A green olive-tree ,
fair with goodly fruit :
with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it ,
and the branches of it are broken .

For Jehovah of hosts ,
who planted thee ,
hath pronounced evil against thee ,
because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah ,
which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal .
