“Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;”
The covenant reminder: 'Tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: "Cursed is the one who does not obey the terms of this covenant—the covenant I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace."' This verse references the foundational covenant at Sinai: when God brought Israel 'out of Egypt' (the 'iron-smelting furnace'), He 'commanded' the covenant terms. The curse pronounced on those who disobey refers to the covenant curses outlined in Deuteronomy 27-28. Theologically, this verse establishes that covenant obligation is binding and non-negotiable.
