Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is anyone who doesn’t listen to the terms of this promise.
“This is what the Lord says: Cursed is the person who trusts humans, who makes flesh and blood his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
The answer will be: ‘They rejected the promise of the Lord their God. They worshiped other gods and served them.’ ”
It will not be like the promise that I made to their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of Egypt. They rejected that promise, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.
Cursed are those who neglect doing the Lord’s work. Cursed are those who keep their swords from killing.
“Whoever doesn’t obey every word of these teachings will be cursed.” Then all the people will say amen.
