The covenant proclamation: 'This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: "Listen to the terms of this covenant and tell this to the people of Judah and to those living in Jerusalem."' This verse introduces a message about 'the terms of this covenant,' calling Jeremiah to proclaim it to the people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. The emphasis on listening to covenant terms sets up an indictment based on covenant violation. Theologically, this verse indicates that the chapter will focus on the covenant structure and its violation.
