Jeremiah 11:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Ever since I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, I have been telling your people to obey me. But you and your ancestors ⁸ have always been stubborn. You have refused to listen, and instead you have done whatever your sinful hearts have desired.

You have not kept the agreement we made, so I will make you suffer every curse that goes with it.

⁹ The Lord said to me:

Jeremiah, the people of Judah and Jerusalem are plotting against me.
