It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant by oath,

The Lord will deliver them over to you and you will do to them according to the whole commandment I have given you.

my father fought for you; he risked his life and delivered you from Midian’s power.

But since you abandoned me and worshiped other gods, I will not deliver you again.

You must never forget the agreement I made with you, and you must not worship other gods.

Instead you must worship the Lord your God; then he will rescue you from the power of all your enemies.”

Would it turn out well if he would examine you? Or as one deceives a man would you deceive him?

I will never declare that you three are in the right; until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!

I will teach you about the power of God; What is on the Almighty’s mind I will not conceal.

Those who pass by will not say, “May you experience the Lord’s blessing! We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the Lord.”

If only you will respond to my rebuke, then I will pour out my thoughts to you and I will make my words known to you.

The Beloved to the Maidens: I admonish you, O maidens of Jerusalem: “Do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases!”

“So, once more I will state my case against you,” says the Lord. “I will also state it against your children and grandchildren.

Yet even then I will not completely destroy you,” says the Lord.

If you stop doing these things, I will allow you to continue to live in this land which I gave to your ancestors as a lasting possession.

In anger, in fury, and in wrath I myself will fight against you with my mighty power and great strength!

King Zedekiah said to them, “Very well, you can do what you want with him. For I cannot do anything to stop you.”

You will die by the sword; I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
