Jeremiah 2:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ Israel was set apart as holy to the Lord,
    the firstfruits of his harvest.
All those who devoured Israel became guilty,
and disaster came upon them, declares the Lord.
⁴ Hear the word of the Lord, you house of Jacob.
All you families of the house of Israel,
⁵ this is what the Lord says.
What fault did your fathers find in me,
that they departed so far from me?
They followed worthless idols,
and so they became worthless themselves.
