Jeremiah 2:1-7

1And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to me, sayingH559,

2GoH1980 and cry in the earsH241 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: I rememberH2142 for thee the kindness of thy youthH5271, the loveH160 of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wildernessH4057, in a landH776 not sownH2232.

3IsraelH3478 was holinessH6944 unto Jehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devourH398 him are guiltyH816; evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon them, saith Jehovah.

4HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

5ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: What injusticeH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in me, that they are gone farH7368 from me, and have walked after vanityH1892, and become vain?

6And they saidH559 not, WhereH346 is Jehovah, that broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that led us in the wildernessH4057, in a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, in a landH776 of drought and of the shadow of death, in a landH776 that no oneH376 passeth through, and whereH346 no manH376 dwelleth?

7And I broughtH935 you into a fruitful landH776, to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof; and ye entered and defiledH2930 my landH776, and madeH7760 my heritage an abominationH8441.
