Jeremiah 2:1-3 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. The word of the Lord came to me:

2. “Go and announce directly to Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says:I remember the loyalty of your youth, your love as a bride —how you followed Me in the wilderness,in a land not sown.

3. Israel was holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of His harvest. All who ate of it found themselves guilty; disaster came on them.”This is the Lord’s declaration.
