Jeremiah 34:19
"I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:"
Key Reflection
In Jeremiah 34:19, the Lord declares that He will punish those who broke the covenant they made by cutting a calf in two and passing between its parts—a symbolic act of commitment to keep their promise (Jeremiah 34:8-22). The original audience would have understood this as a direct consequence for failing to honor such solemn oaths, reflecting God's seriousness about keeping agreements, even if the terms were bloodily sealed.
