Jeremiah 2:1-8
1And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559,
2GoH1980, and cryH7121 in the earsH241 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, I rememberH2142 for thee the kindnessH2617 of thy youthH5271, the loveH160 of thine espousals; howH310 thou wentest afterH310 meH7121 in the wildernessH4057, in a landH776 that was notH3808 sownH2232.
3IsraelH3478 was holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068, the firstfruits of his increaseH8393: allH3605 that devourH398 him shall be heldH816 guiltyH816; evilH7451 shall comeH935 uponH935 them, saith the LORDH3068.
4HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:
5thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, WhatH4100 unrighteousnessH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in meH5921, that they are goneH7368 farH7368 from meH5921, and have walked afterH310 vanityH1892, and are become vainH1892?
6NeitherH3808 saidH559 they, WhereH346 is the LORDH3068 that broughtH5927 usH559 upH5927 outH3427 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that led usH559 throughH5674 the wildernessH4057, throughH5674 a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, throughH5674 a landH776 of droughtH6723 and of the shadowH6757 of deathH6757, throughH5674 a landH776 that noneH3808 passedH5674 throughH5674, and whereH346 noH3808 manH376 dweltH3427?
7And I broughtH935 youH7760 intoH413 a plentiful landH776, to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodnessH2898 thereof; but when ye enteredH935, ye defiledH2930 my landH776, and madeH7760 mine heritageH5159 an abominationH8441.
8The priestsH3548 saidH559 notH3808, WhereH346 is the LORDH3068? and they that handleH8610 the lawH8451 knewH3045 meH310 notH3808: the rulersH7462 also transgressedH6586 againstH6586 meH310, and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and walkedH1980 afterH310 things that do notH3808 profitH3276.
