1Now the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 2“GoH1980 and 1proclaimH7121 in the earsH241 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “I rememberH2142 concerning you the 23devotionH2617 of your youthH5271, The loveH160 of your betrothalsH3623, 4Your followingH1980 afterH310 Me in the wildernessH4057, Through a landH776 not sownH2232.3IsraelH3478 was 5holyH6944 to the LordH3068, The 6firstH7225 of His harvestH8393. 7AllH3605 who ateH398 of it becameH816 guiltyH816; EvilH7463 cameH935 upon them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.’”
4HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 5ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “8WhatH4100 injusticeH5766 did your fathersH1 findH4672 in Me, That they wentH7368 farH7368 from Me And walkedH1980 afterH310 9emptinessH1892 and becameH1891 emptyH1891?6They did not sayH559, ‘WhereH346 is the LordH3068 Who 10broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, Who 11ledH1980 us through the wildernessH4057, Through a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, Through a landH776 of droughtH6723 and of 12deepH6757 darknessH6757, Through a landH776 that noH3808 oneH376 crossedH5674 And whereH8033 noH3808 manH120 dweltH3427?’7I broughtH935 you into the 13fruitfulH3759 landH776 To eatH398 its fruitH6529 and its goodH2898 thingsH2898. But you cameH935 and 14defiledH2930 My landH776, And My inheritanceH5159 you madeH7760 an abominationH8441.
