Jeremiah 11:3 Cross References

Jeremiah 11:3

3: Say to them, `This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is anyone who does not obey the terms of my covenant!

`Cursed is anyone who does not affirm the terms of this law by obeying them.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'

Let none of those who hear the warnings of this curse consider themselves immune, thinking, `I am safe, even though I am walking in my own stubborn way.' This would lead to utter ruin!
The LORD will not pardon such people. His anger and jealousy will burn against them. All the curses written in this book will come down on them, and the LORD will erase their names from under heaven.

"But if you refuse to listen to the LORD your God and do not obey all the commands and laws I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overwhelm you:
You will be cursed in your towns and in the country.
You will be cursed with baskets empty of fruit, and with kneading bowls empty of bread.
You will be cursed with few children and barren fields. You will be cursed with infertile herds and flocks.
You will be cursed wherever you go, both in coming and in going.

But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, "Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all these commands that are written in God's Book of the Law."
Consequently, it is clear that no one can ever be right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."
How different from this way of faith is the way of law, which says, "If you wish to find life by obeying the law, you must obey all of its commands."
But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
