Jeremiah 2:1-7

1Moreover the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came to me, sayingH559, 2GoH1980 and cryH7121 in the earsH241 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; I rememberH2142 thee, the kindnessH2617 of thy youthH5271, the loveH160 of thine espousalsH3623, when thou wentestH3212 afterH310 me in the wildernessH4057, in a landH776 that was not sownH2232.1 3IsraelH3478 was holinessH6944 unto YhwhH3068, and the firstfruitsH7225 of his increaseH8393: all that devourH398 him shall offendH816; evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon them, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 4HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:

5Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, What iniquityH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in me, that they are gone farH7368 from me, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 vanityH1892, and are become vainH1891? 6Neither saidH559 they, Where is YhwhH3068 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ledH3212 us through the wildernessH4057, through a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, through a landH776 of droughtH6723, and of the shadow of deathH6757, through a landH776 that no manH376 passed throughH5674, and where no manH120 dweltH3427? 7And I broughtH935 you into a plentifulH3759 countryH776, to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodnessH2898 thereof; but when ye enteredH935, ye defiledH2930 my landH776, and madeH7760 mine heritageH5159 an abominationH8441.2
