Jeremiah 11:3-5
11:3 Tell them that the
Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘Anyone who does not keep the terms of the covenant will be under a curse.
11:4 Those are the terms that I charged your ancestors
to keep
when I brought them out of Egypt, that place which was like an iron-smelting furnace.
I said at that time,
“Obey me and carry out the terms of the agreement
exactly as I commanded you. If you do,
you will be my people and I will be your God.
11:5 Then I will keep the promise I swore on oath to your ancestors to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.”
That is the very land that you still live in today.’”
And I responded, “Amen! Let it be so,
Lord!”
Ezekiel 18:24
18:24 “But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and practices wrongdoing according to all the abominable practices the wicked carry out, will he live? All his righteous acts will not be remembered; because of the unfaithful acts he has done and the sin he has committed, he will die.
Romans 3:19-20

3:20 For no one is declared righteous before him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans 10:5
10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The one who does these things will live by them.”
Galatians 3:10

Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law.”
