Jeremiah / Question
Question source
Jeremiah
God recalls Israel’s "devotion" and "love" in the wilderness, describing them as set apart to the LORD (Jeremiah 2:2–3). The memory sets up a contrast with later unfaithfulness.
2Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yahweh, I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3Israel [was] holiness to Yahweh, the first-fruits of his increase: all who devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come on them, says Yahweh.
