Jeremiah 2:3-5

Complete Jewish Bible

³ “‘Isra’el is set aside for Adonai,
the firstfruits of his harvest;
all who devour him will incur guilt;
evil will befall them,” says Adonai.

⁴ Hear the word of Adonai, house of Ya‘akov
and all families in the house of Isra’el;
⁵ here is what Adonai says:

“What did your ancestors find wrong with me
to make them go so far away from me,
to make them go after nothings
and become themselves nothings?
