- God pronounced a curse upon people who depend on other people for their ultimate protection.
- God said that the man who trusted in the LORD would be blessed like tree planted by the waters. (See Psalm 1 in comparison)
- God promised that He would search each heart and reward each person according to the fruit of their doings.
- God promised blessings to the throne of Judah and the descendants of David if they would institute the observation of the sabbath day once more. But if they would not, a fire would be kindled that would devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
