Jeremiah 11:2

Jerusalem
Judgment

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

“Listen to the words of this covenant and tell them to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.

3 You must tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,

4 which I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey Me, and do everything I command you, and you will be My people, and I will be your God.’

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
