Da sa Herren til meg: «Rop ut alle disse ordene i Judas byer og på Jerusalems gater og si: Hør ordene i denne avtalen mellom dere og Meg og gjør etter dem. Jeg snakket til forfedrene deres den dagen Jeg ledet dem ut av Egypt. Fram til i dag har Jeg fortsatt å snakke med dere. Jeg sa at dere skulle høre på Mine Ord, men dere verken hørte eller lyttet. I stedet fulgte hver og en sitt eget harde hjerte. Derfor lot Jeg alle ordene i denne avtalen ramme dem. Jeg befalte dem å følge den, men det har de ikke gjort.»
