Tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: You are cursed if you don't obey the terms of this agreement.
This is what the Lord says: Cursed are those who put their confidence in human beings, who trust in human strength and give up relying on the Lord.
People will answer, “Because they broke the agreement of the Lord their God. They went and worshiped other gods.”
It won't be like the agreement that I made with their forefathers when I held their hands and led them out of Egypt. They broke that agreement, even though I was faithful like a husband to them, declares the Lord.
A curse on those who don't do the Lord's work properly. A curse on those who don't use their swords to kill.
“A curse on anyone who doesn't carefully obey all these laws by keeping them!” Everyone says “Amen!”
