5. That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.
6. Then the LORD said unto me,
7. For I earnestly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and warning, saying, Obey my voice.
8. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked everyone in the imagination of his evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
