Jeremiah 2:2-25 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said the LORD; I remember you, the kindness of your youth, the love of your espousals, when you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

2 H1980 Go H7121 and cry H241 in the ears H3389 of Jerusalem, H559 saying, H3541 Thus H559 said H3068 the LORD; H2142 I remember H2617 you, the kindness H5271 of your youth, H160 the love H3623 of your espousals, H3212 when you went H310 after H4057 me in the wilderness, H776 in a land H2232 that was not sown.

3 H3478 Israel H6944 was holiness H3068 to the LORD, H7225 and the first fruits H8393 of his increase: H3605 all H398 that devour H816 him shall offend; H7451 evil H935 shall come H5002 on them, said H3068 the LORD.

4 H8085 Hear H1697 you the word H3068 of the LORD, H1004 O house H3290 of Jacob, H3605 and all H4940 the families H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel:

5 H3541 Thus H559 said H3068 the LORD, H4100 What H5766 iniquity H1 have your fathers H4672 found H7368 in me, that they are gone far H3212 from me, and have walked H310 after H1892 vanity, H1891 and are become H1891 vain?

6 H3808 Neither H559 said H346 they, Where H3068 is the LORD H5927 that brought H776 us up out of the land H4714 of Egypt, H3212 that led H4057 us through the wilderness, H776 through a land H6160 of deserts H7745 and of pits, H776 through a land H6723 of drought, H6757 and of the shadow H6757 of death, H776 through a land H3808 that no H376 man H5674 passed H8033 through, and where H3808 no H120 man H3427 dwelled?

7 H935 And I brought H413 you into H3759 a plentiful H776 country, H398 to eat H6529 the fruit H2898 thereof and the goodness H935 thereof; but when you entered, H2930 you defiled H776 my land, H7760 and made H5159 my heritage H8441 an abomination.

8 H3548 The priests H559 said H346 not, Where H3068 is the LORD? H8610 and they that handle H8451 the law H3045 knew H7462 me not: the pastors H6586 also transgressed H5030 against me, and the prophets H5012 prophesied H1168 by Baal, H1980 and walked H310 after H3276 things that do not profit.

9 H3651 Why H5750 I will yet H7378 plead H5002 with you, said H3068 the LORD, H1121 and with your children’s H1121 children H7378 will I plead.

10 H5674 For pass H5674 over H339 the isles H3794 of Chittim, H7200 and see; H7971 and send H6938 to Kedar, H995 and consider H3966 diligently, H7200 and see H2005 if H2063 there be such a thing.

11 H1471 Has a nation H4171 changed H430 their gods, H1992 which H3808 are yet no H430 gods? H5971 but my people H4171 have changed H3519 their glory H1992 for that which H3276 does not profit.

12 H8074 Be astonished, H8064 O you heavens, H5921 at H2063 this, H8175 and be horribly H8175 afraid, H3966 be you very H2717 desolate, H5002 said H3068 the LORD.

13 H5971 For my people H6213 have committed H8147 two H7451 evils; H5800 they have forsaken H4726 me the fountain H2416 of living H4325 waters, H2672 and hewed H877 them out cisterns, H7665 broken H877 cisterns, H3557 that can hold H3808 no H4325 water.

14 H3478 Is Israel H5650 a servant? H1004 is he a home born H4069 slave? why H957 is he spoiled?

15 H3715 The young H3715 lions H7580 roared H5414 on him, and yelled, H6963 H7896 and they made H776 his land H8047 waste: H5892 his cities H3341 are burned H1097 without H3427 inhabitant.

16 H1571 Also H1121 the children H5297 of Noph H8471 and Tahapanes H7462 have broken H6936 the crown H6936 of your head.

17 H6213 Have you not procured H2063 this H5800 to yourself, in that you have forsaken H3068 the LORD H430 your God, H6256 when H3212 he led H1870 you by the way?

18 H6258 And now H4100 what H1870 have you to do in the way H4714 of Egypt, H8354 to drink H4325 the waters H7883 of Sihor? H4100 or what H1870 have you to do in the way H804 of Assyria, H8354 to drink H4325 the waters H5104 of the river?

19 H7451 Your own wickedness H3256 shall correct H4878 you, and your backslidings H3198 shall reprove H3045 you: know H7200 therefore and see H7451 that it is an evil H4751 thing and bitter, H5800 that you have forsaken H3068 the LORD H430 your God, H6345 and that my fear H5002 is not in you, said H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H6635 of hosts.

20 H5769 For of old H7665 time I have broken H5923 your yoke, H5423 and burst H4147 your bands; H559 and you said, H5647 I will not transgress; H3588 when H3605 on every H1364 high H1389 hill H8478 and under H3605 every H7488 green H6086 tree H6808 you wander, H2181 playing the harlot.

21 H5193 Yet I had planted H8321 you a noble vine, H3605 wholly H571 a right H2233 seed: H349 how H2015 then are you turned H5494 into the degenerate H5237 plant of a strange H1612 vine to me?

22 H518 For though H3526 you wash H5427 you with nitre, H7235 and take you much H1287 soap, H5771 yet your iniquity H3799 is marked H6440 before H5002 me, said H136 the Lord H3069 GOD.

23 H349 How H559 can you say, H2930 I am not polluted, H1980 I have not gone H310 after H1168 Baalim? H7200 see H1870 your way H1516 in the valley, H3045 know H4100 what H6213 you have done: H7031 you are a swift H1072 dromedary H8308 traversing H1870 her ways;

24 H6501 A wild H6501 ass H3928 used H4057 to the wilderness, H7602 that snuffs H7307 up the wind H185 at her pleasure; H5315 H8385 in her occasion H4310 who H7725 can turn H3605 her away? all H1245 they that seek H3286 her will not weary H2320 themselves; in her month H4672 they shall find her.

25 H4513 Withhold H7272 your foot H3182 from being unshod, H1627 and your throat H6773 from thirst: H559 but you said, H2976 There is no hope: H3808 no; H157 for I have loved H2114 strangers, H310 and after H3212 them will I go.
