Now say to them, Thus says Adonai, the God of Israel: “Cursed is the one who does not obey the words of this covenant,
Thus says Adonai: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, and depends on flesh as his arm, and whose heart turns from Adonai.
Then they will answer: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Adonai their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’”
“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “I will put My Torah within them. Yes, I will write it on their heart. I will be their God and they will be My people.
Cursed is the one who does the work of Adonai with slackness, and cursed is the one who withholds his sword from blood.
‘Cursed is the one who does not uphold the words of this Torah by doing them.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
