Jeremiah 2:2-3
Common English Bible
2 Go and proclaim to the people of Jerusalem,
The Lord proclaims:
I remember your first love,[a]
your devotion as a young bride,
how you followed me in the wilderness,
in an unplanted land.
3 Israel was devoted to the Lord,
the early produce of the harvest.
Whoever ate from it became guilty;
disaster overtook them,
declares the Lord.
