Jeremiah 11:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ The Lord said this to me: “Prophesy this message in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: ‘Listen to the words of this agreement. Then obey them! ⁷ I warned your ancestors to obey me when I brought them out of Egypt. I have warned them again and again to this very day! ⁸ But your ancestors did not listen to me. They were stubborn and did what their own evil hearts wanted. The agreement says curses will come upon them if they don’t obey it. So I made all those curses come upon them! I commanded them to obey the agreement, but they did not.’”
