Jeremiah 2:1-3

LEB(i) 1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,* 2 "Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying,* 'Thus says Yahweh,
"I remember concerning you the loyal love of your childhood,* the love of your betrothal-time, your going* after me in the desert,* in the land not sown. 3 Israel was holy to Yahweh, the first fruit of his produce. All those who ate it were held guilty; disaster came to them," declares* Yahweh.'"
